                            EXPIRED AGI 2006 Akelius Canada Ltd. has issued revised N1 notices of 2.5% to most tenants located at 111 Lawton Blvd. for March 1, 2023, instead of January 1, 2023.

This is what created the error in the first N1 notices to these tenants. Reduction in rent due to an expired AGI 2006. Please check your rental accounts for these adjustments.
