What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlords collected or retained money illegally, specifically regarding interest on their last month's rent deposit. The Tenants moved out in April 2024, but the rent deposit and partial interest were not returned until October 2025.

The ruling

The Landlords were ordered to pay the Tenants $73.10, which includes $25.10 for the remaining interest on the rent deposit and $48.00 for the application filing fee. The Board determined the total interest owed was $60.10, but the Landlords had previously paid $35.00.
