Tenants at 111 Lawton Blvd. receive N1 notice of rent increase late.

On October 19, 2022, a number of tenants if not all tenants received their N1 notice of rent increase from Akelius Canada Ltd. not signed and backdated to September 28, 2022. Rules for rent increase In most cases, the rent for a residential unit can be increased 12 months after either: the last rent increase the date the tenancy begins The landlord must give a tenant written notice of a rent increase at least 90 days before it takes effect. The  proper forms  for this notice are available from the Landlord and Tenant Board. If your landlord has not provided the proper notice, or you believe that your rent has been raised by an improper amount, you can dispute it at the  Landlord and Tenant Board  within 12 months after the amount was first charged. NOTE: Tenants who are entitled to the 0.82% above guideline rent reduction (see the previous post for an explanation) your N1 rent increase form is wrong and does not include the discount which took place on October 1, 2022.
