Hi, guys. Last March got N1 Form from Landlord informing of rent increase of 5.2% starting in July, 2020. Spoke to the maneger on a phone and wanted to object to it during hearing of The Board. They refused to provide date when their application was to be discussed. However, told me that will get back to me with The Board decision (never did). So, I thought that there were no rent increase and continued paying my rent as had being paying for last year.
In Feb., 2021, they gave me a letter indicating that I was in arears for $300.00 and change for last 6 months. When calculated it was an increase of 2.19%/month, not 5.2% as they wanted initially. Here is my question: since I had no clue about this exact increase and of cause was never notified of it in precise form, in 90 days prior to such increase, is it legal for them to claim such rent increase and threaten me to get evicted if I don't pay???
Thank you kindly |
