From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
during a period not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence (section 44(2)). … Section 44(3) confirms that the amount that the landlord may be required to repay must not exceed: (a) the rent paid in respect of the period in question, less (b) any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent and the tenancy during that period. … The written evidence that was presented to the Tribunal was less than expected or had been requested. … As such their testimony at the Hearing, whilst supportive of an offence having been committed, could not be conclusive as to the date on which it may have ceased. … This should not be taken as inferring that the Tribunal knows that the facts as stated in that email are incorrect, simply that it is not sure, or satisfied beyond reasonable doubt, that they are necessarily fully correct. … The evidence that has been provided can best be described as “thin”. … The Tribunal also notes in passing that the advice given in the email as to the time limits for the Applicants to apply to the Tribunal is misquoted by a day. … The wording of section 41 is clear. A tenant is only allowed to make an application if the conditions set out in subsections (2)(b) are satisfied. …
