From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
by the different occupiers. … The agents wished only to deal with one cheque. It does not seem appropriate to use something which was for the convenience of the respondent to cast doubt on the arrangements that the applicants made. … What is the appropriate amount for the RRO? … There is no deduction for utilities as the applicants paid all the utilities themselves.. … The tribunal allowed the applicants to submit bank statements after the hearing which showed these payments. … The tribunal then heard arguments about the tenants’ conduct, the respondent’s conduct and financial circumstances. The tenants’ conduct. … The tenant’s representative said that the tenants had behaved properly. They paid their rent on time, reported repairs in a timely fashion and generally behaved well. They took responsibility for finding new tenants and for managing the deposits. They communicated appropriately with the agents. … The respondent had two concerns about the behaviour of the tenants. First he considered that the application was orchestrated and malicious. … The respondent argues that there was no need for him to be concerned with the condition of the property at that stage. … They had arranged for the council to collect the rubbish and it failed to do so. This matter was dealt with through retention of a sum from the deposit. …
