What happened

Landlord applied for an order to increase rent above the guideline due to capital expenditures for window and balcony door replacement. Tenants raised issues about the timing of the work, inability to review supporting documents, and efficiency of the new windows.

The ruling

The Landlord is entitled to a rent increase above the guideline of up to 6.61% due to the capital expenditures for the window and balcony door replacement, with certain rental units excluded from the increase. The Tenants' concerns about the timing of the work, inability to review documents, and efficiency of the new windows were not valid grounds to deny the rent increase.
