What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords have collected or retained money illegally. The application was regarding the Landlords' failure to pay interest on the last month's rent deposit as required by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenants $157.02 for interest on the last month's rent deposit and $53.00 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $210.02. If the Landlords do not pay the full amount by March 4, 2023, they will owe 5% annual interest on the outstanding balance.
