From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The first step is to ascertain the whole of the rent for the relevant period. The relevant period is the period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence. … The duplicated statement had been included in error in place of a document which should have shown that he had paid the Respondent £280 on 21 February 2024. … Utilities. The rent paid by the Applicants included the cost of utilities. The only evidence as to the cost of utilities was provided by the Respondent. … However, the Applicants were not occupying the Property during this period and had vacated the Property on 29 March 2024. … People will naturally use more electricity and central hearing in autumn and winter due to the colder weather and the fact that there is less daylight. … The total payable in respect of gas and electricity for the period 28 September 2024 to 27 March 2025 is £2,187.99, which is equivalent to £12.15 per day. … Seriousness of the offence. … From that it determined what proportion of the rent was a fair reflection of the seriousness of the offence. … The offence in question is one contrary to s.72(1) of the 2004 Act. This is, when compared with offences such as violence for securing entry, a more minor offence. The Tribunal also concluded that this was not a serious offence of its kind. …
