What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally by increasing the rent by $100/month, which was more than the guideline increase.

The ruling

The Landlord's rent increase on June 21, 2022, from $850/month to $950/month was found to be illegal as it exceeded the guideline increase. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants the $53 filing fee for this application.
