When the Rent Increase may be Taken
30. (1) The provisions of this section are prescribed as rules for making findings relating to a reduction of the rent charged under section 142 of the Act, based on a discontinuance or reduction in services or facilities. O. Reg. 194/98, s. 30 (1). (2) If a service or facility is discontinued, the rent shall be reduced by an amount that is equal to what would be a reasonable charge for the service or facility based on the cost of the service or facility to the landlord or, if the cost cannot be determined or if there is no cost, on the value of the service or facility. O. Reg. 194/98, s. 30 (2). (3) Despite subsection (2), where a service or facility was previously provided under an agreement under section 132 of the Act, section 46 of the Rent Control Act, 1992 or subsection 96 (4) of the Residential Rent Regulation Act, the reduction in rent on discontinuing the service or facility shall be equal to, (a) the most recent amount of the separate charge for the service or facility; or (b) where there is no separate charge, the increase in rent which the landlord took when the service or facility was first provided, adjusted by the percentage increase in rent being charged for the rental unit from the date the service or facility was first provided to the date the landlord discontinued the service or facility. O. Reg. 194/98, s. 30 (3). (4) If a service or facility is reduced, the amount of the reduction of rent shall be a reasonable proportion, based on the degree of the reduction of the service or facility, of the amount determined under subsection (2) or (3). O. Reg. 194/98, s. 30 (4). (5) If the discontinuance or reduction is temporary and its duration is reasonable, taking into account the effect on the tenant, there shall be no reduction of rent. O. Reg. 194/98, s. 30 (5).
