From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
We disagree. … That is not what the legislation says. … We determine in this case that the rent has been paid by the tenant in accordance with the terms of the tenancy agreement. … In accordance with section 44 HPA 2016, the amount of an Order must relate to rent paid in a period, not exceeding 12 months during which the landlord was committing the offence under section 95 HA 2004. The amount that the landlord is required to pay in respect of a period must not exceed the rent paid in respect of that period. … What proportion of the rent (after deduction as above) is a fair reflection of the seriousness of this offence? That figure is then the starting point (in the sense that the term is used in criminal sentencing); it is the default penalty in the absence of any other factors, but it may be higher or lower in light of the final step. iv. consider whether any deduction from, or addition to, that figure should be made in the light of the other factors set out in section 44(4). Rent for the relevant period. The relevant period during which the offence was committed was 8 November 2022 to 16 June 2023. … It is agreed that all sums paid for utilities etc were met directly by the tenant and the Respondent does not claim set-off of any such costs. … We, therefore, determine that the maximum amount of any RRO is £5,342.50 The seriousness of the offence. …
