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. The increase of 2.5% should be based on the rent figure of September1, 2022, and the reduction taking place on October 1, 2022.
The landlord Akelius Canada Ltd. will not automatically reduce your monthly rent on October 1, 2022, by 0.82% unless you inform them you are entitled to it by law as laid out in the 2006 order file number TSL-84316. Please review the video listed in the previous post.
Akelius Canada Ltd. is in violation of serving proper notice of the rent increase for January 1, 2023, as the tenants were given a 73-day notice instead of the required and legal 90 days.
Signature of NI Notice - No signature on N1 Form
If there are multiple landlords, only one of them needs to sign the notice. The
date next to the signature is the date the notice will be given or sent to the tenant.
