From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
from the deposit at the end of the tenancy, which both parties relied on as a matter we should take into account in assessing the conduct of the other. In short, the tenants voluntarily agreed that £655 of the £2,175 deposit should be retained; the Respondent argued for a further £1,520; and the deposit scheme with which the deposit had been lodged (DPS) awarded the Respondent £103 extra. … The Applicant argued that the Respondent had improperly sought to withhold an excessive amount. The Respondent argued that the Applicants had done sufficient damage to justify their demand, and the deposit scheme adjudication was wrong. … The Respondent also said that his financial circumstances were such as to be relevant to the amount of an RRO. … Now retired, he relied on the rental from the house as his only income. He was paying into a personal pension now (which would provide a modest income when he was 65), and had £11,520 in an ISA, which would go towards paying of the principal of the interest only mortgage (£161,000) in 2027. He produced two bank statements (May/June 2020 and March/April 2021) to support his evidence in relation to income. … That account had, he thought, a credit balance of about £18,000. … He had no idea how much money was in that account. … He said he would have to sell the property in due course because the mortgage was interest only. …
