RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2018-08-30 | 4 | Approved Minutes August 30, 2018 he had difficulty answering the question as it was a complex matter and saw his financial future as uncertain. The parties took a seat and the Committee began deliberations. Member Sullivan-Cheah said he thought the tenant could afford more than $65 and still stay in his home. Member Griffiths proposed a $123.03 increase, the 9.5% increase the landlords proposed in their first year of the phased-in option. Vice Chair Murray agreed that the tenant could pay that amount, and did not think the landlords should get less than that without a compelling hardship shared by the tenant. Member Friedman said he did not think the tenant had demonstrated a financial hardship, and said that the landlord's phase-ir amount was reasonable. Chair Cambra said he also supported the $123.03 amount as the tenant had considered paying the $310 one-time offer. Motion and second for an increase of 123.03 (Vice Chair Murray and Chair Cambra). Motion passed 5-0. 6-C. CASE 1101 - 2485 Shoreline Dr., Apt. 209 Tenant: Carrie & Mounaim Bouderka Landlords: Joanna Leonard, Randall Kessler, Michael St. John, Andrew Fisher Proposed rent increase: $344.84, effective October 1, 2018, from a base rent of $1,495.00 to a total rent of $1,839.84. Ms. Bouderka said she and her husband have lived at this property for 11 years. She said they used to have a good view of the Bay, but after the construction, they lost most of their view. She said paint stains remained on the balcony following the painting of it. She presented a number of repair and maintenance issues they had at the property that went unaddressed, including potential asbestos problems, black mold, and water leakage, as well as security issues, as they believe someone moved some of their property, and a gold ring went missing. They said they felt management did not take their concerns seriously. Ms. Leonard admitted that the paint coating on the balcony did not perform well, so they plan to recoat all of the balconies. She said she would take care of the pending maintenance concerns. Ms. Bouderka said the repeated letters and materials sent by St. John & Associates felt condescending and offensive.
