From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The decision to make a RRO award is therefore discretionary. However, because the offence was established the Tribunal finds no reason why it should not make an RRO in the circumstances of this application. … The amount of rent paid was not in dispute. … When determining the amount of a RRO, the Tribunal has a discretion whether or not to make a deduction for utility payments. … The Respondent set out at page 17 of their bundle details of the electricity, gas and internet costs that the Respondent had paid for the Property. … Electricity - £761.24 b. Gas - £1,268.39 c. Internet - £474 45. The Respondent included at pages 35 to 63 relevant bills for gas, electricity and internet. … The Respondent confirmed that there was a cap on the amount that tenants can consume for utility bills. This meant that a fixed amount for utility payments was included within the rent; but, if the utility bills for the Property exceeded the set amount, the Applicants would be liable for the amount above the cap. This was set out at pages 30 to 32 of the Respondent’s bundle. However, the Respondent confirmed that no action had been taken to reclaim any amounts from the Applicants and therefore the Respondent had made all of the utility payments. …
