When the housing watchdog decides a tenant's case against a landlord, it often tells the landlord to pay the tenant compensation. This is the average payout per decided case. It matters because it signals how badly things typically went wrong when residents had to escalate: a high average means each failure caused serious harm, while a low one suggests problems were more minor.
