What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlords collected or retained money illegally, including excess rent, an illegal damage deposit, and failure to pay interest on the last month's rent deposit.

The ruling

The Landlords must pay the Tenants $853, which includes $300 for excess rent collected and $500 for the illegal damage deposit. The Tenants did not prove the allegations regarding the last month's rent deposit and interest.
