What happened
The Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally. The Landlord increased the rent by $45 per month starting January 1, 2024, without providing the required 90-day written notice.
The ruling
The Landlord must pay the Tenant $405 for the unlawful rent increase. The rent increase was void as the Landlord did not provide the required 90-day written notice.
