What happened

Landlord applied for an order to increase rent above the guideline due to capital expenditures for roof replacement. Tenants raised concerns about roof leaks and argued the landlord should pay for the roof replacement.

The ruling

The Landlord has incurred this eligible capital expenditure that satisfies the requirements of s.126(7) of the Act. The capital expenditure is necessary to restore the physical integrity of the residential complex. Therefore, the above guideline increase is granted for this application.
