What happened
The Tenant applied for a reduction in rent, claiming that cable television service had been included in the lawful rent since 1996 but was discontinued by the current Landlord in April 2025 following a change in property ownership. The Landlord failed to attend the hearing despite being properly served with notice.
The ruling
The Tenant's application for a rent reduction due to the discontinuation of cable television service was dismissed. Despite the Landlord's absence, the Board found that the Tenant did not meet the burden of proof required to show that the service was a component of the lawful rent or to establish its monetary value.
