Dispute

Rent Increase Above Guideline

Landlord

H.

What happened

Landlord applied for an order to increase the rent charged by more than the guideline due to capital expenditures. The application was resolved by a written hearing, and no submissions were received from the Tenants.

The ruling

The Landlord may increase the rents charged by 4.66%, with 3% increase from June 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020, and 1.66% increase from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021. This increase is in addition to the annual guideline. If the same tenant remains in the unit after the expiration of the weighted useful life for capital expenditures, the rent will be reduced.
