RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2017-02-06 | 3 | Approved Minutes February 6, 2017 increase. Taking in good faith the comments of the tenant, he asserted that it appears the 5% increase poses a financial burden on the tenant. He recommended a $33 (3.0%) increase. Chair Sullivan-Sariñana noted that he is taking the comments of the landlord and tenant in good faith. He summarized that the tenant expressed she is unable to pay the 5% increase and the landlord stated he would reconsider the amount of the rent increase if the tenant provides documentation of her inability to pay the higher rent. In addition, the tenant representatives stated the tenant would be willing to provide the requested documentation. Therefore, he stated that it appears both parties may be able to work out an agreement of a $25 increase when the requested documentation is provided by the tenant. Thus, he recommended a $25 (2.3%) increase. Member Griffiths stated that he recognizes the tenant is facing a hardship with this rent increase. He also noted that he appreciates that the landlord has a history of reasonable rent increases. While he agrees with Member Landess that 5% is a reasonable increase for the landlord, he also acknowledged the tenant is a difficult situation. He recommended an increase of $25.00 (2.3%) and encouraged parties to meet privately so that the landlord's requested documentation could be provided by the tenant. Motion and second for Committee to recommend an increase of $25.00 (2.3%) effective March 1st, 2017 (Sullivan-Sariñana and Griffiths). Passed with Sullivan-Sariñana, Griffiths, and Friedman voting yes and Landess voting no. Motion and second for 5 minute recess (Sullivan-Sariñana and Landess). Unanimously approved. 7-B.
