Landlord Didn't Waive Air Conditioner Surcharge
LVT Number: #23569
Rent-controlled tenant complained after landlord increased her rent by $5 per month based on tenant's installation of an air conditioner. Tenant claimed that landlord waited too long to do so. The DRA ruled against tenant, who appealed and lost. Rent-control regulations permit landlords to collect an air conditioner surcharge from rent-controlled tenants, even if the unit had been installed some time ago. Unlike rent-stabilization rules, there is no waiver of the surcharge under rent control.
