What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the Tenant failed to pay a 1.01% rent increase authorized by a previous Above Guideline Increase (AGI) order. The Tenant argued that the increase only applied to the year 2023, based on a misunderstanding of the LTB order and alleged advice from LTB staff. The Landlord maintained the increase was valid for the 15-year weighted life of the capital expenditure.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective December 2, 2025, unless the Tenant pays $398.39 by November 30, 2025, or $1,333.86 by December 2, 2025, to void the order. If the tenancy is terminated, the Landlord actually owes the Tenant $1,185.07 because the rent deposit and interest exceed the arrears and filing fee as of the hearing date.
