Is there a fee payable when applying to a First Tier Tribunal for recovery of a prohibited payment?
<p>If so, how much is the fee? Tenant Fees Act 2019 provides a special procedure and form TFA1 to recover banned fees, but must one pay a fee to file such an application?</p>

<h2>Yes, it's £100.</h2>
