From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

12.4 with regard to a possible offence under the 1977 Act and in response to questions from the Tribunal, the Applicant stated that: (a) he did not consider that there was any conduct on the Respondent’s part which amounted to an unlawful deprivation of his occupation of the Property within section 1(2) of the 1977 Act. The Applicant confirmed that he finally moved out of the Property on 27 March 2024 although due to family circumstances he had not been living in the Property for several weeks previously; and, (b) with regard to section 1(3A) of the 1977 Act, the Applicant referred to frequent visits made to the Property by the Respondent arising out of his continued use for storage of 1 of the bedrooms at the Property. … He first became aware of the requirement for a licence in February 2024 and responded by making an application for an exemption (as he was intending to move back into the Property in or about the end of March 2024). That application was rejected (due to an error on the form) and he re-submitted the application. He has not received any further response from the Council in relation to the form re- submitted in April 2024. …
