What happened

The Landlord requested a review of a previous LTB order (LTB-L-095267-24). The Landlord raised two grounds: first, that her previous legal representative was ineffective and failed to present evidence; second, that the LTB made a factual error regarding the rent deposit balance. The Landlord claimed the rent deposit had already been applied to the last month's rent and she only held a $200.00 key deposit.

The ruling

The original order LTB-L-095267-24 is cancelled and replaced. While the Landlord's claim of ineffective legal representation was rejected, the factual error regarding the rent deposit was corrected. The Tenants are now ordered to pay the Landlord $2,031.83 by December 11, 2025. This amount accounts for $2,125.00 in damages and the $186.00 filing fee, less the $200.00 key deposit and $79.17 in deposit interest.
