From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
44(3) of the Act? … The maximum amount was agreed by the parties at the hearing in the sum of £8,287.10, that is, the rent for the period 5th January 2024 until 30th December 2024. The section 44(4) HA 2004 factors. The Tribunal is satisfied that the offence of having control of an unlicensed property is a serious offence. Selective licensing is an important means by which local authorities can address specific problems arising in particular areas, and failure to comply with the scheme has the potential to significantly undermine the effectiveness of the scheme. … The Tribunal considers that having regard to the seriousness of the offence the starting point for consideration of the level of the RRO, subject to other factors is 75% of the maximum amount, that is £6,215.33. … The conduct of the Respondent is raised in two contexts. … Firstly, the Applicant has made allegations of disrepair and entry into her property without notice. The allegations are contained in the Applicant’s “expanded statement of reasons”. … In relation to the first of these issues, the Tribunal is not satisfied that it has sufficient evidence to make findings either that the issues with the leaks at the block amounted to disrepair, for which the Respondent should be considered responsible, or that the entries to the Property by workmen or contractors were unreasonable in the circumstances. …
