Synopsis
In this non-payment proceeding, the landlord sought $12,011.92 in rental arrears but was awarded only $5,329.72 after trial. The court determined that surcharges related to late income certification do not constitute rent and therefore cannot be included in a non-payment claim. As the landlord did not prevail on key claims and received less than half of the amount sought, they were deemed not to be a prevailing party, resulting in the denial of their motion for attorney's fees and the quashing of the tenant's subpoena.
