An estate agency in East London has been ordered to pay one of its former HMO tenants £6,240 via a rent repayment order following a First-Tier Tribunal hearing.
It heard that Kenneth Lloyds Ltd, which has a single branch on Commercial Road in Limehouse, had a rent-to-rent agreement with the property’s owner Mrs Aftaban Ali and had sub-let rooms at the address.
During the hearing the tribunal heard that Ali had specified that the flat should only be rented out to a single unit and not as separate bedsits but despite this, evidence presented by tenant Enoch Adjety including correspondence from Greenwich council, showed the opposite to be true.
