What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord collected or retained money illegally, including a key deposit, pet deposit, and last month's rent deposit. The Landlord refused to refund these deposits to the Tenant when the Tenant vacated the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord must pay the Tenant $4,010.28, which includes the refund of the $300 key deposit, $300 pet deposit, $2,200 last month's rent deposit, and $1,157.28 for a partial refund of September 2023 rent. The Landlord must pay the full amount by June 30, 2024, after which interest will accrue.
