The Landlord collected rent in excess of the amount allowed by the Residential Tenancies Act. The Landlord must pay the Tenant $6,793, which includes $6,740 for the excess rent collected and $53 for the cost of filing the application.
Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally. The Tenant alleged that the Landlord increased the rent without proper notice and in violation of the Residential Tenancies Act.
The Landlord argued that the tenancy was a series of short-term agreements, not a single fixed-term lease, and that the Tenant agreed to the rent increases.
Landlord claimed the initial rent was $2,200/month but discounted to $1,680/month for the first period, and that the Tenant voluntarily agreed to the subsequent rent increases.
Landlord failed to provide proper notice of rent increases as required by the Residential Tenancies Act.
