FAQ
How do I file a Rent Repayment Order claim?
A Rent Repayment Order (RRO) claim is generally made to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber). You will need to complete the appropriate application form, provide details of the landlord and property, explain the offence you believe was committed, and submit supporting evidence. The exact process can vary depending on the type of offence and circumstances of your tenancy.
Is there a deadline for filing an RRO claim?
Yes. RRO applications are subject to statutory time limits, and the deadline depends on the circumstances of the claim. It is therefore important to establish when the relevant offence was committed and when the applicable limitation period began before relying on a potential claim.
Do I need a solicitor to file an RRO claim?
You do not necessarily need a solicitor to bring an RRO claim. Tenants can represent themselves before the First-tier Tribunal. However, the process involves identifying the correct offence, preparing evidence, calculating the amount claimed and presenting your case, so you should make sure you understand the requirements before filing.
