What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to increase the rent charged by more than the guideline for one or more rental units in the residential complex. The application was resolved by written hearing, and the Board received submissions from the Landlord and the Tenant VEG.

The ruling

The Landlord may increase the rents charged by 1.74% for the units set out in Schedule 1, within the time period of September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019. 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.
