Dispute Summary
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally. The Tenants alleged that the Landlord failed to pay interest on the last month's rent deposit and did not pay compensation when issuing an N13 notice of termination for demolition.
Determinations

- Landlord issued N13 notice for demolition
- Demolition was not ordered under another Act
- Landlord must pay compensation for N13 notice
Case Study
The Landlord failed to pay the Tenants interest on the last month's rent deposit as required by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The Landlord also did not pay the Tenants compensation equal to one month's rent when issuing an N13 notice of termination for demolition, as the demolition was not ordered to be carried out under the authority of any other Act.
Decision Summary
The Landlord must pay the Tenants $1,392.29, which includes $39.29 for interest on the last month's rent deposit and $1,300.00 for compensation for the N13 notice of termination for demolition, as well as the $53.00 application fee.
