What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations and collected money illegally. The Landlord argued the unit was a commercial loft and not subject to the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $500 for the illegally collected air conditioning deposit, plus $50 for the application filing fee. The Tenants' other claims were dismissed.
