Rent Increase Above Guideline

Landlord

R.

Tenant

T.F.U.A.

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. No submissions were received from the Tenants, and the Tenants from certain units were not served with the Notice of Hearing and were removed from the application.

The ruling

The Landlord may increase the rents charged by 2.16% for the units set out in Schedule 1, within the time period of December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2019. The percentage increase may be taken in addition to the annual guideline in effect on the increase date for the unit. If the Tenant's rent is increased pursuant to the percentage increase ordered for capital expenditures and the same Tenant remains in the unit after the expiration of the weighted useful life for capital expenditures, then the rent will be reduced.
