What happened

The Tenant applied for an order after the Landlord failed to pay the required statutory compensation following an N12 notice for personal use. Additionally, the Tenant sought unpaid interest on the last month's rent deposit held since 2003. During the hearing, the parties reached an agreement on the amounts owed, though the Landlord's initial request for an adjournment due to late notice was denied.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a total of $1,768.47 by September 13, 2025. This amount includes $1,594.85 for N12 statutory compensation, $120.62 for interest on the last month's rent deposit, and $53.00 for the application filing fee. The Tenant's request for an administrative fine was denied.
