The following tables illustrate how the calculations would be

Tenement floor controlled under existing legislation:

Assessed fair market rent:

$575

Existing controlled rent :

$290

Divide by factor

5/285

==

$55 (rounded off)

Similar tenement floor let at the end of 1972

Assessment fair market rent:

$575

Existing rent:

$500

Divide by factor:

5/ 75

= $15

Increase per month: $15

Each such increase allowed would subsist for two years.

If no

increase is allowed, the landlord would be allowed to apply again in one year.

Increases in rent of sub-tenancies would generally follow increases

in the rent of the head-tenancy.

Both the landlords and the tenants would have a right, subject to

payment of a small fee, to ask the independent tribunal to review the increase

allowed.

It is also proposed to tighten legislation generally, including

introducing provisions to oblige a landlord to issue a receipt for rent.

It is also envisaged that conditions under which landlords can obtain

possession for their own or family use, will be made more stringent.
