UTLC HOUSING – houses in multiple occupation – landlord and tenant – rent repayment order – person having control – appropriate person to repay rent – ss 61(7), 72(1) and 73(5) Housing Act 2004 – appeal dismissed.
A rent repayment order was made against the immediate landlord of the occupational tenants although the landlord had only ever had a lease for a short term of only three years. The Tribunal confirmed that it was a person having control and was capable of committing the offence under section 72(1), 2004 Act. More than one landlord could be in receipt of rack rent at the same time.
