From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
requires them to do to bring a property up to the required standard and, in particular, object to matters being raised about which the occupiers have not complained. … If a landlord does not apply for a licence, the audit process never happens. … The prospect of such savings is a powerful incentive not to get licensed. Not getting licensed means that important health and safety requirements may get missed, to the possible serious detriment of any occupiers. … Further, under section 44(4) of the 2016 Act, in determining the amount of the RRO the Tribunal must, in particular, take into account the conduct of the respective parties, the financial circumstances of the landlord, and whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of any of the relevant offences. The Second Respondent’s accounts indicated that the company was making a loss but the First Respondent admitted that he personally is not in financial difficulty. There are no previous convictions to take into account. … (b) The boiler stopped working on 21st March 2023. The First Respondent told the Applicants to pay for their own repairs, stating, “This high maintenance cannot go on. … (c) The windows were single-glazed, resulting in condensation damp and mould, and some were draughty. They also had no locks. (d) There was penetrating damp from a previous leak. …
