From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

the landlord. … So it would be unfair for a tenant paying a rent that included utilities to get more by way of a rent repayment than a tenant whose rent did not include utilities. But aside from that, the practice of deducting all the landlord’s costs in calculating the amount of the rent repayment order should cease.’ 37. … Accordingly the tribunal find that the following utility costs may be deducted from the maximum amount. … It was accepted that the landlord had not at any time been convicted of a relevant offence. … The Tribunal find that the Respondent submitted insufficient evidence for it to be able to take its financial circumstances into account. … No adjustment is therefore made for the conduct of either party.
