From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
said that they would be 25-30% of the rent amount. … DETERMINATION 46. … In the first instance the Tribunal had to determine whether the Respondent was in fact the Landlord. … None of the tenants had ever heard of St. … All operations for the letting of the property were conducted by the Respondent. … At paragraph 14 of his statement, he stated that having inspected the property and occupation levels and discussed the matter with the HMO manager, he formed the view that the building (not part of the building) was of a type that ought to be licences under the Housing Act 2004 Part 2. … The Tribunal noted that the ground floor was not separated physically from the top floor. The self-contained units were within the building and shared a fire alarm system that indeed apparently due to an act of vandal- ism/interference was turned off for the whole building by an occupant of the self-contained flats. Consequently the flats were in a building that formed part of an unlicensed HMO. … The Tribunal considered the conduct of the Respondent, and found it want- ing in a number of respects. … He was aware it was needed, and had apparently employed someone to obtain it; but this property had been occupied for several months and no licence was ever obtained. …
