What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord has collected or retained money illegally. The dispute arose from Landlord's failure to provide compensation to Tenant after issuing an N12 Notice of Termination for personal use of the rental unit by Landlord's child.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $950.00, which is equal to one month's rent, as compensation for failing to provide the required payment after issuing an N12 Notice of Termination. The payment is due by January 17, 2022, after which interest will accrue at 2.00% annually on any outstanding balance.
