What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords have collected or retained money illegally. The Landlords failed to pay the Tenant interest on the last month's deposit and retained the Tenant's last month's rent deposit after the Tenant passed away.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenant's Estate $896.21, which includes the remaining balance of the last month's rent deposit ($887.60) and the interest owed on the deposit ($8.61). The Landlords must also pay the Tenant's Estate $50 for the cost of filing the application.
