What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally by increasing the rent beyond the guideline amount without proper notice.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $53.00, which was the cost to file this application. If the Landlord does not pay the Tenant the full amount owing by October 17, 2023, the Landlord will owe interest at 7.00% annually on the balance outstanding. The Tenant may also recover the amount by deducting it from the rent due for November 2023.
