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 relevant period is 24 January 2023 to 27 December 2023. The Applicant stated that she paid £680 per month and therefore she claimed £8,160. However, the Tribunal finds that this amount does not accurately reflect the period for which the Applicant claimed. The Applicant has only claimed for the period 24 December 2023 to 27 December 2023 and therefore the relevant period is 338 days. … The Tribunal therefore ascertains that the whole rent for the relevant period is £7,557.68. … When determining the amount of a RRO, the Tribunal has a discretion whether or not to make a deduction for utility payments. … The Applicant and Respondent agreed that the tenants were responsible for paying the electricity at the Property as this was paid by way of a meter system that the tenants were responsible for topping up. The Respondent confirmed that she had paid all other bills. This did not include a gas bill as there was no gas at the Property. … The Respondent told the Tribunal that she estimated that the yearly water bill for the Property was £850 and that she had also paid £50 per month for internet for the Property. …
