Common Questions About Rent Repayment Orders
What is a Rent Repayment Order (RRO)?
A Rent Repayment Order is a tribunal order requiring a landlord to repay up to 24 months’ rent to a tenant where certain housing offences have been committed, such as operating an unlicensed HMO or failing to provide required safety certificates.
How much rent can a tenant claim back?
A tenant can claim up to 24 months’ rent through an RRO. The tribunal considers the severity of the offence, the landlord’s conduct, and whether there’s a history of housing offences when deciding the amount.
What offences can trigger an RRO?
RROs can be triggered by: operating an unlicensed HMO, failure to provide a gas safety certificate or EICR, illegal eviction, breach of a banning order, and — under the Renters’ Rights Act — failing to protect a deposit or provide an EPC.
How does the Renters' Rights Act affect RROs?
The Renters’ Rights Act (effective 1 May 2026) expands the list of offences that can trigger an RRO, increases maximum penalties, and makes it easier for tenants to apply. Non-compliant landlords face significantly greater financial risk.
