What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally. The dispute centers on utility charges for water and HVAC (heating) which the Tenant paid but argued were the Landlord's responsibility under the signed tenancy agreement. The Landlord claimed a mistake was made by her real estate agent in drafting the second lease which changed utility responsibilities from the Tenant to the Landlord.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $499.74 by September 22, 2025. This includes $451.74 for the reimbursement of water and HVAC charges and $48.00 for the application filing fee. If the amount is not paid on time, simple interest of 4.00% annually will accrue.
