Hello everyone.
\nSo, let the bells ring out. \u00a0The Residential Tenancy Branch has ruled in our favour. \u00a0It’s a long, six page ruling but it came down to one issue and that is the savings accruing to the owner because of the shift from septic to city sewer.<\/p>\n

Here is the final quote from the RTB Arbitrator, Mr.\u00a0Maddia:<\/p>\n
“I find, from the landlord’s submission that while the landlord did invest a large capital amount to convert sewage disposal services from septic service to municipal sewers in the amount of $1,179,329, that landlord will now, as a result, enjoy an operating cost reduction in the amount of at least $26.26 per month per site or $50,419 per year.<\/p>\n
Residential tenancy policy guideline #37 states that where expenditure incurred on the repair or renovation has been, is anticipated to be, or will be reimbursed or otherwise recovered, a rent increase will not be ordered. \u00a0As such and pursuant to section 33 (3) (d) of the Manufactured Home Park Regulation, I find the landlord will be able to recover the cost of renovations completed to convert from septic to municipal sewers.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/span><\/p>\n Based on the above, I dismiss\u00a0the landlord’s application for additional rent increase.”<\/p>\n _____________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For me, this shows the importance of working together. \u00a0Had we not had a local committee, chances are we’d\u00a0be paying an additional\u00a0half million dollars over the next few years.<\/p>\n Cheers <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello everyone.
