From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
accordance with Section 44. … If the order is made on the ground that the landlord has committed the offence of controlling or managing an unlicensed house, the amount must relate to rent paid 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 under the tenancy during that period. … The Tribunal began with a general review of the papers in order to decide whether the case could be dealt with properly without holding an oral hearing. Rule 31 of the Tribunal’s procedural rules permits a case to be dealt with in this manner provided that the parties give their consent (or do not object when a paper determination is proposed). … Neither party has requested an oral hearing and, having reviewed the papers, the Tribunal is satisfied that this matter is suitable to be determined without a hearing. Although the parties are not legally represented, the issues to be decided have been clearly identified in the papers enabling conclusions to be properly reached in respect of the issues to be determined, including any incidental issues of fact. …
