2/26/2015 Topic: Tenant Sharing Apartment with a Non-Tenant Moderator	We received this update from Tango: The Tenant went to the Legal Clinic yesterday. He was advised that the Landlord has no legal recourse to take action against the Tenant. He was advised to submit a letter to the Landlord (superintendent) advising them that his friend will not be vacating the unit and is staying in the unit indefinitely at his discretion and pleasure. If the tenant is given an eviction notice or if the Landlord engages in harassment behavior, the tenant is to contact the Legal Clinic and action will be taken.

You can find some detailed information on rent increases in our Settlement.Org How often can a landlord increase the rent? article. Here is an excerpt, It is important to note that the rent control guideline does not apply to new rental buildings. A new rental building is a building that was occupied as a residential unit for the first time starting November 1991; like a new apartment or condo building or a converted factory that is now an apartment building.
