PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Private Rented Housing: Rents (11 March 2019)

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many Rent Repayment Orders have been made by each of the five regional First-Tier residential property tribunals under (a) section 44, (b) section 45 and (c) section 46 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016.

Asked by:
Rosie Duffield (Independent)

All Rent Repayment Orders (RROs) are made by the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) under section 43 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016. Section 46 lays out the circumstances where the maximum RRO is to be be set (regardless of whether it is a tenant or a local housing authority application).

Internal management information shows:

	Number of RROs made in response to applications from tenants up to the end of September 2018	Number of RROs made in response to applications from local housing authorities up to the end of September 2018	Number of RROs set at maximum under s46 up to the end of September 2018 (from tenant or local housing authority application)
London	7	0	0
Northern	0	0	0
Midland	6	0	0
Eastern	5	3	2
Southern	0	0	0
Total	18	3	2

Data are management information and are not subject to the same level of checks as official statistics.
