From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
favour of tenants. By section 44(2) that amount “must relate to rent paid during the period mentioned” in a table which then follows. The table provides for repayment of rent paid by the tenant in respect of a maximum period of 12 months. Section 44(3) provides: “(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. … Section 61 provides for every prescribed HMO to be licensed. It is open to local housing authorities to adopt additional licencing schemes. … We are therefore required to consider the mandatory licencing arrangements. …
