Can landlords give a smaller rent reduction to cover the solid waste management fee?
The rent reduction notice is based only on municipal property taxes which do not include the garbage fee. Tenants receiving these notices are entitled to the full rent reduction as set out in the notices. • Can a landlord pass along the solid waste management fee to a tenant as a rent increase? The Residential Tenancies Act permits landlords to apply for above-guideline rent increases if their operating cost increases are extraordinary, this can include municipal charges such as solid waste management fees. The Landlord and Tenant Board has information on how to make an application for above-guideline rent increases.
