If rent was increased by more than eight per cent in the five-mont h period from July 30 to Dec. 31 without a written agreement signed by both tenant and landiord (not a, lease) then the tenant is entitled to a rebate if he applies by Feb. 16, 1976. If the landiord refuses to rebate the amount over eight per cent, the tenant may apply to a rent review officer for an order requiring payment. The saine applies for the period from Jan. 1, 1976 ta. July 31, except landiords can a ppy for an increase above thýe eight per cent. But hikes a bove that figure must be justîfîed by increased costs in operating the build- ing. Until a decision is reached to, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Wright and Jeffrey, Pontypool were Wed. supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. Wright. Berta and Ernest Werry were-among the guests'enter- tained to a dessert luncheon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Meredith Moffatt, Oshawa, when they entertained a group of cousins to, visit with Mrs. Wilfrid Werry who has recent- ly returned from the Canary Islands, and is making hier, home now in Ottawa.

Certain non-profit co-opera- tiehote, motel and vaca- tion unts, buildings first occupied after Jan. 1, 1976 and commercial premises are not affected by t h e act. What is covered? Apartments, houses, tawn- houses, multiplexes, raoming houses, mobile home sites, and rent -g eared - ta - incarne sites, A faîl under the legislatian. Can the landlord evict a persan making trouble over an increase? The Landiord Tenant -Act acts as a protection by stating a challenge ta a rent increase and a demand for a rent refund are nat grounds for eviction. Is there a reduction for substantial rent increases that were made before last duly 30? During the termi of the leasei the tenant has ta pay the quated amount. However, if tlhe landiord seeks another increase then the tenant can ask for a review and a rent review officer' will decide what increase, if any, will be allowed., How does a persan get his rent increase justified if lie doesn't knaw wba bis landiord is? Under the Landiord Tenant Act, a landiard must past his name and address in a praminent place in the build- i ng. Failure ta do so can result, in afn llow do 1 find out what the previaus tenant paid when 1 moved into the building after July 30? The landiord should be asked haw much the previaus tenant paid. If he'refuses ta answer or provides informa- tion that seems incorrect, the tenant may request justifica- tion for an increase. If the landiord increases rent in 1976, may the increase be a ppealed?, A landiord may, subject ta appeal by the tenant, increase rent between July 30, 1975, and Jul 31, 1976. no more than e gh per cent over the rent before Aug. 1, 1975. A further increase may be made after July 1, 1976, subject ta a tenant appea. Should a lease be signed when notification has been given about a large rent increase? The interests of the tenant should be protected by signing the lease. 1 May a landiord increase rent by eight per cent during a six-month lease and then again for a second six-month lease? Increases above eight per cent are not allowed during a, r ear because unless the land- lord can justify them. May a landlord start charg- ing for use of the swirnming pool and other facilities when he didn't charge for themn before? If these services were in- cluded in the rent before, the landiord cannot demand extra payment for them now.
