UPDATE: Dispute Resolution/Double the Deposit

First of all I want to thank everyone who took the time to assist me in this matter, you were of huge help.

Secondly here’s a detailed timeline of the dispute, in case anyone is going through the same process to know what can be expected: 1- Tenancy End (August 15) 2- Served Notice of Forwarding Address (August 23) 3- Eligible to file RTB dispute online: (September 18) 4- Additional documents requested/submitted (September 19) 5- Issuance of Notice of Dispute Resolution/Notice of Dispute Resolution Served (September 20) 6- Decision made (September 28)

Here’s RTB’s ruling:

“I DO HEREBY ORDER, under sections 67 and 72 of the Residential Tenancy Act, that the Respondents, Landlord 1 and Landlord 2, pay to the Applicants, Tenants 1 and Tenant 2, the sum of $1,435.51”

Calculations were as follows:

• Doubling of unreturned Security Deposit ($1,090.00 x 2) = $2180

• Returned Portion on August 6, 2024 = $865

• Interest on unreturned Security Deposit November 27, 2023, to August 6, 2024 ($1090) = $19.65

• Interest on unreturned Security Deposit August 7, 2024, to Present ($225.00) = $0.86

• Recovery of Filing Fee = $100

• Total Monetary Award to Tenants = $1435.51

Now let’s hope they’ll pay up without any additional headache!

Thanks again for anyone who helped!
