Phato by Bon Schatter - Tenancy act amended ' By GAILDOTINGA Herald Staff Writer limit has been raised from ‘seven to 10 perscent. + The increase was just one of six major amendments made to the Residential Tenancy Act which was introduced in the legislature ‘recently by Jim Nielsen, minister of consumer and corporate affairs. “A rent Increase limit which Is less than the rate of inflation does not reflect increases in operating costs and has the effect of reducing the real price of renting,” said Nielsen. “This in turn artificially increases demand ‘and compounds our existing rental shortage problem.” The rent increase . limit may be varied in the future to reflect the prevailing effect of inflation. © Permanent occupants of - hotels, motels, and lodging houses with more lhan twa ‘months residency will be protected ‘under the new amendments. “These tenants may now enjoy a reasonable living standard without the fear of eviction or excessive rent increases,” said Nielsen. — At the same time, operators of these buildings will be able to collect security deposits. Also rent. review provisions have extended to certain fenants. "Rent review will be ex- tended retroactively to in- clude tenants: living in units first rented after January 1, 1974," said Nielsen.
