From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
the penalty. THE LAW 8. Financial penalties imposed under section 249A of the Housing Act 2004 (“the Act”) are dealt with at Schedule 13A of the Act. … The Applicant initially suggested that his tenants had removed or tampered with the smoke alarms he had installed in the property. Subsequently, he claimed that it was a term of the tenancy agreement that the attic was not to be used as a bedroom. … The Applicant claims that the tenant was in breach of the agreement, and that he was denied access to view the Property or to carry out any work on it. … The Tribunal finds that the Applicant had the opportunity to install smoke alarms in all rooms when letting the property, and to inspect and check for the presence of smoke alarms during the Respondent’s inspections. He was well aware at all times that the number of children and adults living in the Property inevitably resulted in the use of the attic as a bedroom. There are no circumstances that justify a reduction in the financial penalty imposed by the Respondent.
