*** DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR LETTER OR NOTICE WITH ANYONE AT THE COUNCIL OR WITH YOUR TENANTS BEFORE YOU TAKE PROFESSIONAL ADVICE ***
The Application form or Notice will tell you WHO is making the claim against you.
If your property is a side-let, it will be the tenant or the Council.
If your property is an HMO, it may only be one or two of your tenants.
Do not be fooled. The Council will go out of its way to persuade the remainder of your tenants to make a claim because they believe all landlords are criminals and must be punished. Or the no-win, no-fee solicitors will do so in an attempt to increase their fees. In fact they will attempt to track down ALL of your former tenants to persuade them also to make RRO claims against you.
If any of your tenants were claiming benefits towards rent such as Housing Benefit or Universal Credit then the Council will ALSO look to make its own RRO claim against you, because they believe you should provide free housing to their claimants.

The Application Form or Notice will tell you the GROUNDS under which the 12 months’ Rent Repayment Order claim is being made
It could be any or several of these:
- Unlicensed property* (selective licensing)
- Unlicensed HMO* (mandatory or additional HMS licensing)
- Illegal eviction (far too easy to do by accident)
- Harassment of tenant (very easy for tenants to claim you did this)
- Failure to comply with a Council Improvement Notice
- Failure to comply with a Council Prohibition Notice
* As licences cannot be transferred between old and new owners, these situations are very easy to fall into accidentally. Even if you’ve left the property to a sub-landlord or rent-to-rent operator – you as superior landlord are still very much liable under a Rent Repayment Order.

The First Tier Tribunal Notice
If this is the first indication you receive of an impending RRO claim, it means the claimant did not bother to send you the application form. This happens a lot. It means the the process has been ongoing for many weeks whilst you were not aware. You must now act swiftly.
The FTT Notice will give you important instructions about ‘preparing a bundle’ and when it needs to be delivered to the Tribunal.
Do not reply until you have professional representation.
Do not contact the First Tier Tribunal, your tenants or the Council.
You can only make things worse. Often very MUCH worse.

What You Must Do Immediately
You absolutely must get professional help. You could go to a solicitor but most have very little knowledge of this highly specialist area and we frequently see solicitors making matters worse due to lack of specialist Housing Act and Rent Repayment Order skills.
You should book an urgent consultation with one of our specialist Rent Repayment Order negotiators who will assess your situation and represent you in negotiations to settle the claims against you on far more favourable terms than you’d get on your own.
Go here now and book a 1-hour case review session and then we will explain how we can represent you and make the whole process far less painful, mentally damaging and expensive.
