What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord collected or retained money illegally by retaining first and last month's rent deposit.

The ruling

The Tenant's application was granted in part. The Landlord must pay the Tenant $875.00, which represents the last month's rent, as the Landlord did not take reasonable steps to mitigate his losses after the Tenant repudiated the agreement. The Tenancy Agreement was not found to be frustrated.
