(f) order that the Chairman admonish the registered professional housing manager orally;
(g) order the registered professional housing manager to pay all or part of the costs of any of the Registrar, the Board or the inquiry committee arising from the case if, but only if, the inquiry committee is satisfied that in all the circumstances of the case it would be unjust and inequitable not to do so.
