Decision
The Landlord may increase the rents charged by 0.25% for the units set out in Schedule 1, within the time period of May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The portion of the Landlord's application seeking an above-guideline rent increase due to an extraordinary increase in municipal taxes and charges to take effect during the period January 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021, is dismissed.
Dispute
The Landlord applied for an order permitting the rent charged to be increased by more than the guideline for one or more of the rental units in the residential complex because of municipal taxes and charges.
Determinations
- The Landlord justified a rent increase above the guideline because of an extraordinary increase in the cost for municipal taxes and charges.
- The municipal taxes and charges claimed by the Landlord in the application have been accepted.
- Some rental units listed in the application were not served with the application and notice of hearing, so they are removed from the order.
- The Helping Tenants and Small Businesses Act, 2020 prohibits rent increases due to extraordinary increases in municipal taxes and charges from taking effect during the rent freeze period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, so that portion of the application is dismissed.
