From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The other four tenants paid smaller amounts of rent at the end of August 2024, as set out in the table below. … As is common for student houses, the tenancy agreement commenced before the Applicants moved into the Property. The Applicants say that, when they came to move into the Property, unfortunately, there were significant problems with its condition, and it was not suitable for living in. The Applicants have provided the Tribunal with witness evidence and photographic evidence showing incomplete renovation work at the Property. … As the Applicants were unable to find alternative accommodation, they moved into the Property. However, it was only for a brief period in the end. Whilst the Applicants and their parents tried to find a resolution with the Respondent, the necessary remedial work was not forthcoming and the Applicants eventually all found other accommodation to move into. … The Applicants also confirmed during the hearing that three of the Applicants left the Property on 30 October 2024, and the remaining three moved out between 31 October 2024 and 3 November 2024. … This payment was in the sum of £3,700 and was made on 6 October 2024 as set out in the table above. … It was not known whether any such enforcement action had been taken. …
