Key passages (verbatim)
“the Tribunal concluded that the Respondent was contractually liable to pay for the cost of replacing the windows and window frames at the property. Given that the cost of doing so has not been challenged nor has the Respondent adduced any evidence about this, the Tribunal found the cost claimed by the Applicant to be reasonable.”
“the Respondent has not challenged these and, in any event, he has not filed or served any evidence. The Tribunal also concluded that the costs are recoverable under the lease as service charges and are found to be reasonable.”
“The Applicant has claimed both contractual interest in the sum of £342.42 and statutory interest at a rate of 8%. It cannot do both.”
