From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
electricity, and water rates; together with an amount for wifi and internet. None of the tenants were in receipt of universal credit housing costs or housing benefit. The tenancy agreement also makes reference to a sum payable in relation to utilities. … We were told in submissions and in the various witness statements about the conduct of the landlord which we accept entirely. This includes the following: failing to maintain a properly functioning boiler and heating system and allowing the property to develop a cold and damp smell. The boiler had to be re-set daily in order to keep it working; one of the bedrooms was subject to mould growth, giving it an unpleasant smell; the tenants told us that they were unaware of a gas safety certificate being in place at the property and also they were unaware of any electrical safety check; the repeated failure of the boiler also meant that at times the tenants were unable to take a shower. … We were told that an employee or officer of the landlord would regularly make unannounced visits to the property and on one occasion someone entered a bedroom whilst they were asleep and stared at them. This must have been very distressing for that particular tenant and also a serious concern for other tenants. …
