From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

If he is dissatisfied, the landlord may apply to this tribunal for a review. The Tribunal may consider all the facts, including any facts not known to the Respondent when the penalty was assessed. … The offence is admitted by the Applicant. … The Tribunal finds that the Respondent correctly assessed the Applicant’s culpability as “very high”, since he was fully aware of the requirement for a licence and failed to apply for one (or to make an effective application) until after he had notice of the intended penalty. … The Tribunal reassesses the level of harm at “low”. In its initial assessment, the Respondent noted that council officers had not had an opportunity at that time to view the condition of the Property. Since it was possible that there were hazards and delapidations, there was a potential for harm to tenants as well as harm in terms of public policy. In the event, the Property was found to be in good condition and the Applicant was granted a 5 year licence. … This reduces the penalty to £4500. The Respondent applied a 20% reduction to the initial assessment after taking into account the Applicant’s means and his cooperation in applying for a licence in March 2019. The same reduction is applied to the new assessment, resulting in a penalty of £3600. In addition, the Respondent’s costs of £254.70 are payable.
