From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Maximum possible amount. … Principles guiding the Tribunal’s determination. … We have therefore concluded that this case should be treated as one where the Tribunal is not required to make an order for the maximum amount, and that accordingly there is no presumption that the order should be for the maximum amount. Rather, the Tribunal should take an overall view of the circumstances in determining what amount to order the landlord to repay (taking particular account of the factors listed in paragraph 10 above). The fact that the tenant will have had the benefit of occupying the premises during the relevant period is not a material consideration, but the circumstances in which the offence is committed are always likely to be material. A deliberate flouting of the improvement notice would merit a larger amount than a case of inadvertence, and a landlord who is engaged professionally in letting is likely to be dealt with more harshly than a non-professional landlord. Whether the landlord has any relevant convictions. … He has also been prosecuted for housing offences in respect of at least one other property. … The financial circumstances and conduct of the landlord. … However, he has not provided us with any information about his business or about his financial circumstances. …
