What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord has collected or retained money illegally. The Tenants claimed they were owed interest on the last month's rent deposit.

The ruling

The application is dismissed. The Tenant has not named the current Landlord as the respondent, but instead named only the former Landlord. The obligation to pay interest on the last month's rent deposit is assumed by the new Landlord upon the sale of the property.
