RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2018-09-17 | 5 | Approved Minutes September 17,2018 came before the Committee again the following year, he would likely be less inclined to give another 9.5% increase. Chair Cambra agreed. Motion and second for $142.03 (Vice Chair Murray and Chair Cambra). Motion passed 3- 1, with Member Griffiths voting no. 7-B. Case 1104 - 2485 Shoreline Dr., Apt. 210 Tenant: Victoria ("Vicki") Roman Landlords: Johanna Leonard, Randall Kessler, Michael St. John, Andrew Fisher, Asia Hawkins Proposed rent increase: $326.99 (23.5%), effective October 1, 2018 Ms. Roman said that she believed the repairs to the building were due to landlord neglect on the part of the landlords, the expenses for which should not be passed on to the tenants. She said she is a senior citizen working past retirement age. She said that she believes an $85 rent increase would be fair, which she had revised down from her written response where she said an increase of $112 would be reasonable. She provided the Committee with photographs of the interior of her apartment to review showing what she stated illustrated the neglected repair and maintenance concerns she had. Member Sullivan-Cheah asked why she changed her mind about the amount of increase she believes is reasonable. She said that three years ago she went from being employed as an instrument technician to a housekeeping position, which resulted in a large salary decrease. Mr. Kessler said management would address some of the concerns she's brought up such as the dishwasher and stove needing repair. The participants took their seats and the Committee began deliberations. Member Sullivan-Cheah said he thought that an increase of $112 would be reasonable, as she first proposed, and as it was more or less in-line with past increases she had received that were around $100. Vice Chair Murray said that she would consider an increase of $90-95 appropriate, near the CAPX amount provided by the landlords, and would consider a range between $85 and $112. She expressed concern for the tenant's loss of income. Member Griffiths said he believed $112 was too high, and should not be considered, as it was rescinded by the tenant. He said he thought a range of $90-$95 would be reasonable. Motion and second for a $95 increase (Members Sullivan-Cheah and Griffiths). Motion passed 4-0.
