From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
relate to rent paid the period” not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence. … The whole of the rent for the relevant period is £118 a week from 20 July 2021 until 24 February 2022 for each tenant for the reasons set out above. … All of the Applicants paid their rent in full as evidenced by their witness statements and supporting bank statements. … In this case the Applicants say the tenancy agreement included an unspecified amount for utilities (gas, electricity, internet and water rates). They made a payment of £98 at the start of the tenancy for utilities. … This is not a deposit.” (iv) B4. Outgoings: …Tenants agree to use all utilities within the premises in accordance with the tenant’s occupation as a private dwelling house. An allowance for energy is included in the rental payment equivalent to 10% of the annual rent; this allowance will enable the tenant to utilise the premises and the fittings reasonable within the term. The landlord reserves the right to charge the tenant over and above this allowance where usage is deemed to be exceptionally unreasonable. … They did not pay the Landlord any additional costs. … The Tribunal finds that the tenancy agreement, without the tenants guide is contradictory and lacks clarity. Is it a £98 one off payment per tenant or 10% of the rent. …
