What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord has collected or retained money illegally, including rent in excess of the amount allowed, failure to pay compensation for termination, and failure to pay interest on the last month's rent deposit.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $2,364.02, which includes $87.60 for interest on the last month's rent deposit, $473.42 for the remainder of the last month's rent deposit, $450.00 in excess rent, and $1,300.00 in compensation for terminating the tenancy with an N12 notice. The Landlord must pay interest on the outstanding balance if not paid by November 5, 2021.
