What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords collected or retained money illegally. The Tenant paid a $1,000 deposit as last month's rent, but the Landlords failed to provide vacant possession of the rental unit on two occasions, and the Tenant was not prepared to move into an unfinished unit.

The ruling

The Landlords must compensate the Tenant in the amount of $250.00 plus the $53.00 application fee, as they failed to provide the Tenant with vacant possession of the rental unit.
