From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The application. … She supplied the Tribunal with copy bank statements showing total payments of £8,000 for the 8 months that she was in the Property. No documentary evidence was supplied as to the amount of housing benefit she received. … The application was heard in Sheffield Magistrates Court. Neither party was legally represented. … The Tribunal had statements and documents from each party. … Section 1(3B): A person shall not be guilty of an offence under subsection (3A) above if he proves that he had reasonable grounds for doing the acts or withdrawing or withholding the services in question. … The Respondent did not have any documentation with him but said that he had previously read and understood the application. … This, she said, amounted to harassment. … It was about lunchtime on a Saturday. Together they went to the outhouse where they found that the lever on the spur for the garden water supply had been knocked out of position. … She had found a rat trap or bait box “at the side of my window”. … She described facing “another night of distress and anguish”. (e) The tenancy agreement contained incorrect information in that the attached image of a water meter was not her water meter but the submeter in her outhouse, which did not record the water she was using. … She said that her peace and comfort had been interfered with. …
