What happened
Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord collected or retained money illegally. Tenant alleged that he paid a last month's rent deposit to the Landlord but was not given vacant possession of the rental unit.
The ruling
The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Landlord is not required to refund the last month's rent deposit as they suffered a financial loss due to the Tenant's withdrawal from the agreement.
