Rent repayment orders near PR3 2ZA
£2,536 per tenant, the median of 5 orders with a checked amount
Based on 6 decisions with a known outcome within 10 km of PR3 2ZA, decided between November 2019 and August 2021. Only 6 decisions so far, so treat these as a rough guide.
You have to apply within 12 months of the offence (2 years for an offence on or after 1 May 2026). For a continuing offence, such as a home let without the licence it needed, the time runs from its last day, and the 12-month limit still applies to the part before 1 May 2026 (S.I. 2026/421 reg. 11). The pack works out your last day.

The search widens from 2 km (to 5, 10 km, then the local authority) until at least 10 decisions have a checked amount, and there are fewer than that within 10 km and in the local authority.
What the tribunal ordered within 10 km
6 decisions published (6 with a known outcome, 6 of which ended in a rent repayment order). In 5 the amount ordered has been checked.
Only 5 decisions with a checked amount. That is too few to show a pattern.
"Typical" means the median: half the decisions are above it and half below. n is the number of decisions a figure comes from.
The amount the tribunal orders depends mainly on how it applies the approach set out in Acheampong v Roman and later Upper Tribunal cases, the landlord's conduct and the tenant's circumstances, so local figures are background, not a prediction.
| All | Before 5 Sep 2022 | Since 5 Sep 2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ended in a rent repayment order | 6 of 6 | 6 of 6 | – |
| Typical amount ordered, per tenant | £2,536 n=5 | £2,536 n=5 | – |
| Typical amount ordered, per decision | £10,580 n=5, typically 4 applicants | £10,580 n=5, typically 4 applicants | – |
| Typical share of the maximum the tribunal could award | too few n=2 | too few n=2 | – |
The tribunal can only make an order if it is sure, beyond reasonable doubt, that the landlord committed the offence. That is why not every application ends in an order. Old rules: offence before 1 May 2026, maximum 12 months' rent. New rules: offence on or after 1 May 2026, maximum 24 months' rent.
Past decisions are not a prediction. The tribunal decides each case on its facts, including the landlord's and tenant's conduct.
How these figures are counted
No decision here yet concerns an offence on or after 1 May 2026, when the maximum rose to 24 months' rent. Every figure is under the old rules, where the maximum was 12 months' rent.
"Per tenant" divides what the tribunal ordered in a decision by the number of tenants who applied; "per decision" is the total ordered across all of them, as the decision states it.
"Typical" is the median. n is the number of decisions each figure comes from. Typical figures from fewer than 5 decisions are shown as "too few", and order rates from fewer than 10 as a count ("7 of 9") rather than a percentage.
The Upper Tribunal set out how the amount is fixed in Acheampong v Roman on 5 September 2022.
Left out of the figures, but listed below: decisions whose outcome or amount we haven't been able to check. Dismissed, withdrawn, struck-out and out-of-time applications count towards "ended in an order" but never supply an amount.

What the columns mean
Rent per calendar month, the maximum the tribunal could award (the rent for the period, less any benefits), the amount ordered and its share of that maximum, as the decision states them. "Per tenant" is the total ordered divided by the number of tenants who applied; "Ordered, total" is the whole amount for the decision. A blank maximum means the decision never states it as one figure, or it hasn't been checked.
