What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord has collected or retained money illegally. Tenant claims her rent deposit must be returned since she never took possession of the rental unit.

The ruling

The Tenant's application is dismissed due to being filed more than one year after the Landlord collected and retained the money, which is beyond the statutory limitation period set by s. 135(4) of the Residential Tenancies Act.
