From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
We turn then to the amount of rent repayment order which we should make. … (2) The amount must relate to rent paid during the period mentioned in the table... (3) The amount that the landlord may be required to repay in respect of a period must not exceed – (a) the rent paid in respect of that period, less (b) any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. … The maximum is the amount of the rent paid in the relevant period less the appropriate figure for universal credit. In this case the relevant period is the rent paid from 1st May 2020 (the date from which the licensing requirement applied) to 10th February 2021 (the day before the respondent applied for a temporary exemption notice). From this it is common ground that we have to deduct a fair element of the utilities bills (which were for the whole of the property). … The tables on p 32 of the applicant’s bundle were agreed with respect to rent paid, the arrears and universal credit received. It was also agreed that deposit of £1250 was used towards paying off arrears and that the oldest arrears would be paid first. Given that the allowable claim period is between 1st May 2020 and 10th February 2021, the period is 9 months (May 2020 to January 2021) plus 10 days. The rent paid May 2020 to January 2021 was £10,150.00. …
