What happened

Tenants filed an application alleging that the Landlords illegally increased rent, failed to pay interest on the last month's rent deposit, and failed to refund a key deposit.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenants $253, which includes the $200 key deposit and the $53 application fee. If the Landlords do not pay by the due date, they will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
