MCI Rent Hike Granted for Apartment/Hallway Door Installation

LVT Number: #24419

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the building-wide installation of apartment and hallway doors. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant claimed that the work didn't constitute an MCI, that the installation was performed without the tenants' consent, and that the cost of the installation was excessive. But tenant raised these issues for the first time on appeal and offered no proof to support her claims. The PAR was dismissed.
