From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
should be made in. … The offence is not an offence described in s46(3)(a) and there is no re- quirement for the Tribunal to make a maximum repayment order. The matter is only governed by s44. … The Applicant referred to the Respondent's conduct of not registering the tenancy deposit and in relation to how the tenancy deposit dispute was handled at the end of the tenancy. … The Tribunal did not consider the conduct of either party in respect of the tenancy deposit relevant to the offence committed. … The Tribunal notes that there are other fairly punitive remedies availa- ble to the Applicant in terms of non-compliance with the tenancy deposit re- gime. … He had applied for, and been granted a licence in 2019 for the upstairs Flat, Flat 4b, which had been inspected by the Council and found to be com- pliant. The Applicant candidly confirmed to the Tribunal that he had no prob- lems with the Property; he had found the Respondent to generally be a re- sponsive landlord, even stepping in to assist with noise insulation when the wh42395561v1 9 neighbours in the two bedroomed flat complained they could hear the occu- pants of Flat B above. … The Tribunal considers that a penalty should therefore be at the very lowest of the spectrum when comparing to other RRO offence judgements. The seriousness is low. …
