From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
under the above act by not being in possession of a licence” The Respondent made another application for an HMO in November 2020. … They were only successful in September 2021, on the third attempt. The fact that there is no declaration is not enough to cast doubt on our findings. … There are not any factors that establish that the Respondent had a reasonable excuse. (i) The Respondent was aware of the requirements as he made a failed application on 26 November 2018. … When they did it was on the wrong application form and there were further delays before a third application was made. He failed to undertake the fire safety works required. … He cited one occasion where he attempted to gain access. … (iv) They continued to assert that a licence was not required at this hearing. The submissions made were pure denials rather than clarifying the layout. … Section 44 (2) provides that “the amount must relate to rent paid during the period… not exceeding 12 months during which the landlord was committing the offence”. The amount must not exceed the rent paid by the tenants during this period, less any award of universal credit paid to any of the tenants. … Though there was a dispute between the parties of the date when the Applicant vacated, no rent was paid during that period. The RRO only relates to the rent paid during the period that the offence was committed. …
