What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords have collected or retained money illegally. The main issues were the Landlords' failure to pay interest on the last month's rent deposit and their application of the deposit to the last month's rent.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenants $113.20, which includes $63.20 in interest on the rental deposit and $50 for the cost of filing the application. If the Landlords do not pay by June 22, 2021, they will owe simple interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
