Does the Court have jurisdiction to examine rent increases for a subsidized rental unit?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hu v. Red Door Housing Society, 2016 BCSC 1238 (CanLII):
In Samji v. HFBC Housing Federation, 2012 BCSC 1367, Masuhara J. concluded similarly that the arbitrator did not have jurisdiction to examine rent increases for a subsidized rental unit because the landlord was exempt from the rent increase provisions of the Act. In that case, three low income seniors had their subsidies denied because they had not complied with the income and asset verification requirements, and their rent was raised to market rent. See also the similar conclusion of Bernard J. in Forbes v. McDiarmid, 2003 BCSC 1580.
