What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords have collected or retained money illegally. The Landlords failed to pay the Tenants $392.38 for the cost of utilities, and the Landlords were not entitled to retain the last month's rent deposit.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenants $3,145.38, which includes the last month's rent deposit of $2,700 and $392.38 for the excess utility bill. If the Landlords do not pay the full amount by December 3, 2021, they will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
