From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
the rent repayment order must be the maximum amount found by applying the above principles. The Tribunal otherwise has a discretion as to the amount of the order. However, section 44(4) requires that the Tribunal must take particular account of the following factors when exercising that discretion: a) the conduct of the landlord and the tenant, b) the financial circumstances of the landlord, and c) whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of any of the specified offences. … The licensing offence under section 72(1) of the 2004 Act can only be committed in respect of a property which is an HMO to which Part 2 of that Act applies and which is required to be licensed under it. … Those conditions are that: a) the property is occupied by five or more persons; b) it is occupied by persons living in two or more separate households; and c) it meets ‘the standard test’ for an HMO under section 254(2) of the 2004 Act. …
