From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
financial circumstances of the landlord and whether the landlord has been convicted of an offence to which that chapter of the 2016 Act applied. … Section 41(1) of the 2016 Act provides for an application by a tenant or local housing authority. … The tribunal finds that the Applicant was the Respondent’s tenant for the period ending 15 November 2017, having paid a deposit of £850 and rent payments of the same amount in July, August, September and October 2017 in relation to the Property. … Section 40(3) of the 2016 Act sets out in a table the offences which would entitle a tenant (or local housing authority) to apply to the First-tier Tribunal for a rent repayment order against the offender pursuant to section 41(1). … The Applicant claims that he was illegally evicted from the Property on 15 November 2017 and has provided evidence that a civil claim against the Respondent for damages for unlawful eviction was settled by the Respondent for the full amount initially claimed, plus costs. … Accordingly the Tribunal determines that an offence under section 1(2) was committed. … Having found that the Applicant was a tenant, and since the offence was committed in the period of 12 months ending with the date on which the Application was made, the tribunal finds that the requirements of section 41(2) of the 2016 Act have been met. …
