But tenants who already have
had a Is per cent rent increase
would be subject to no additional
increase October l or thereafter
under the proposed new law.
However, those whose rent has
been raised only 8 per cent, for
example. would be subject to a
5 per cent increase October and
another 2 per cent increase six
months later.
And a tenant whose rent has
been bosted, say is per cent, as a
result of a landlords hardship,
still would be subject to an addi-

That last provision came in for
some criticism.

some increases granted under this
formula would be "unjustified. u
