RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2018-09-17 | 3 | Approved Minutes September 17,2018 When asked if he learned anything new, Mr. St. John said he wasn't aware that the balconies got narrower by four inches. Chair Cambra asked if the parties might come to an agreement, and after some discussion, the parties did not come to an agreement. The parties took their seats and the Committee began deliberations. Member Sullivan-Cheah said that this case was the first from the other cases heard at this property where a tenant informed the Committee that the redesigned balconies resulted in diminished use for the tenant. He said he felt what the landlords were asking for would cause a hardship for the tenant. Vice Chair Murray noted that the tenant had indicated that she could pay more than a 5% increase. She proposed a $90 (6.9%) increase. Member Griffiths proposed an increase of $81.33 to match the CAPX increase. Vice Chair Murray responded that CAPX doesn't include other costs landlords have that aren't included in this figure. Chair Cambra said he thought an increase between $90 and $100 would be fair. Members discussed their positions. Motion for a $90 rent increase (Chair Cambra and Vice Chair Murray). Motion failed 2-2. Motion and second for an $81.33 increase (Members Griffiths and Sullivan-Cheah). Motion failed 2-2. Motion and second for an $85.00 increase (Chair Cambra and Member Griffiths). Motion passed 4-0. 7-A. Case 1081 - 2485 Shoreline Dr., Apt. 316 Tenant: William ("Will") Tsui Landlords: Johanna Leonard, Randall Kessler, Michael St. John, Andrew Fisher, Asia Hawkins Proposed rent increase: $293.95 (19.7%), effective October 1, 2018 Vice Chair Murray summarized the tenant's main points - that the proposed rent increase would cause a financial burden, that the improvements to the property did not improve his unit, that he had unaddressed maintenance concerns, as well as safety and security concerns.
