The Landlords, Sharuka Thangalingam and Royal York Property Management, are ordered to pay the Tenant the total amount of $6,219.86 by September 30, 2024. If the Landlords do not pay the full amount by the due date, they will owe interest at 7.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords collected or retained money illegally. The Tenant paid $6,171.86 to the Landlords as part of the application and leasing process, but the Tenant's application was declined and the amount was not returned.
Landlord Sharuka Thangalingam argued that as the funds were paid directly to Royal York Property Management, they should not be ordered to refund the Tenant.
Landlord Sharuka Thangalingam claimed to be a 'hands-off' landlord and had limited financial capabilities to pay the Tenant.
Tenant paid $6,171.86 to Landlords as part of application and leasing process, but Tenant's application was declined and amount was not returned.
