What happened

Tenants filed applications claiming the Landlord collected money illegally, harassed them, entered the unit illegally, and failed to meet maintenance obligations. The Landlord denied most claims and argued that delays in repairs were due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $249.51, consisting of $74.51 for interest on the last month's rent deposit and $175.00 for the return of the key deposit. The Tenants' claims regarding illegal entry, harassment, and maintenance issues were dismissed.
