Handicap Entrance Qualifies as MCI

January 24, 2015

LVT Number: #25931

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on installation of various improvements, including a fourth building entry. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenants appealed and lost. Tenants argued that the new entrance was installed for the benefit of a single tenant in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). But access work at building entrances for people with special needs is still a building-wide improvement that qualifies as an MCI.
