RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2018-11-07 | 3 | Approved Minutes November 7, 2018 because the current one is drafty. He said the gardener came infrequently and the grounds were always dirty. He said that the landlords gave him paint to repaint his unit himself. He added that the windows do not open or close, and the tenants are not allowed to use the outside hose. Mr. Pena responded that the owner pays the water and did not want the tenants using the hose irresponsibly. He added that Mr. Rodriguez has unauthorized persons living in his unit. Member Griffiths asked staff to clarify the prior increases. Staff informed the Committee that the base rent was currently $1,200 because a prior increase from $1,200 to $1300 was found to be invalid and the landlords were required to reimburse the tenants amounts collected under that increase, which they did. Staff clarified that the landlords were currently requesting a $100 increase from $1,200 to $1,300. Committee members asked clarifying questions as to what the landlords were willing to do to address the tenant's stated needs. The parties came to an agreement for a $100 increase effective December 1, 2018 and the landlords made a commitment to address a number of the concerns the tenant raised. 7-B. CASE 1147 - 755 Lincoln Ave., Apt. B Tenant: Florencio Reyna & Catherine Reyna, assisted by staff-provided translator Landlords: Heidi Hausauer, Cassie Hausauer, owners, and Albert Pena, manager Proposed rent increase: $100.00 (8.3%), effective November 1, 2018 Mr. Pena said the tenants were wonderful tenants, and he and his daughter Catherine were the sole occupants. The tenants expressed concern that they are not able to use the hose, should they need it in an emergency, such as a fire. They said some of the windows on the property are broken, their front door is drafty, and they have a hole in their bathroom wall. They said that they have always had to paint their own unit and their carpet had never been replaced in their 14 years of tenancy. They said they've informed the landlord about the needed repairs, but the landlord had not addressed them. The parties came to an agreement for a $100 increase effective December 1, 2018, and the landlords made a commitment to address a number of the concerns the tenants raised. 7-D.
