What are rent repayment orders in the Housing and Planning Act 2016? When and why might landlords be subject to one? How much would the order likely be?
These are the central questions behind this new specialist book by barrister Mathew McDermott aimed at the practitioner wanting to make or needing to respond to an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) for a rent repayment order ("RRO") in England.
This book lays out in a user-friendly, practical way both the substantive and procedural law relevant to RROs. It deals not only with what RROs are and in what circumstances they may be made but also how to apply for an RRO, how to respond to an application, when to make one - and how to challenge one that has been made.
This book will assist any practitioner advising a tenant(s) making an application, a landlord responding to one as well as those working with or on behalf of local housing authorities making application for RROs in relation to universal credit that might have been paid out by them.
