What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlords collected or retained money illegally. The Landlords served the Tenants with an N12 notice to terminate the tenancy for personal use, but failed to pay the required one-month compensation to the Tenants.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenants $4,553, which includes $4,500 in compensation for the N12 notice and $53 for the application filing fee. The Landlords have until June 30, 2024 to pay the full amount, after which interest will accrue at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
