From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
for utilities which we take to be gas, electricity, and water rates; together with an amount for wifi and internet. The Applicants were not entirely clear whether the property had a gas supply as it appears that the heating system is communal and shared. … The 2016 Act applies to an offence committed under section 72(1) of the Housing Act 2004 (section 40(3) of the 2016 Act). … Section 44 of the 2016 Act provides for how the RRO is to be calculated. In relation to an offence under section 72(1) the period to which a RRO relates is a period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence. … Application of facts to the law and our Reasons. … Throughout the relevant period, the property came within the definition of a HMO as it was occupied by at least 5 persons in circumstances where they shared facilities and were separate households. Throughout this period the property was required to be licenced under Part 2 of the Housing Act 2004 and it was not. No application has ever been made. In those circumstances, an offence had been committed under section 72 of the Housing Act 2004. … On the basis of the above facts and law we decided that there was no poor conduct on the part of the tenants such that that might have an impact on the amount of the RRO. …
