What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords collected or retained money illegally. The Tenant testified that he paid first and last month's rent, and the Landlords did not return the full last month's rent deposit when the Tenant vacated the unit.

The ruling

The Tenant proved the allegations on a balance of probabilities. The Landlords must pay the Tenant $602.60, which includes the remaining last month's rent deposit and a rent abatement for 2 days.
