What happened

The Tenant filed an application claiming the Landlord, a designated housing provider, collected illegal charges by not providing proper rent adjustments. The Landlord raised a preliminary issue arguing the LTB lacks jurisdiction over rent in subsidized housing. The Board agreed, finding it cannot determine rent for subsidized units under Section 7 of the RTA, and dismissed the Tenant's application.

The ruling

The Tenant's application concerning illegal charges and rent adjustments was dismissed. The adjudicator ruled that the Landlord and Tenant Board lacks jurisdiction over the matter because the rental unit is part of subsidized housing operated by a designated housing provider, as defined under Section 7 of the Residential Tenancies Act.
