In order to qualify for any rental adjustments: The property must be properly registered with the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs
and the owner must not be delinquent on any fees associated with registration (Chapters 8.52 and Chapter 8.57).
Within five (5) calendar days after submission of a Landlord's Property Owner’s application for Rent Adjustment for Fair Return to the Department,
the Landlord Property Owner shall serve each affected Tenant respondent with a notice of said application via personal service or certified mail,
return receipt requested. The Landlord Property Owner must provide the application, with all supporting documents, reasonably available to each
affected Tenant respondent that shall be provided at the Landlord's Property Owner’s expense.
Within ten (10) calendar days after service on each affected Tenant respondent, the Landlord Property Owner shall file with the Department a
proof of service, signed under penalty of perjury, stating that a copy of the notice of application was served upon each affected Tenant respondent.
Fees and costs incurred by a Landlord Property Owner for making an application for Rent Adjustment for Fair Return may not be passed on to a
respondent Tenant. Such fees and costs include, but are not limited to, attorney fees, accountant fees, and other similar professional services
costs.
The Department of Consumer and Business Affairs will review a Landlord's Property Owner’s application submitted to determine whether a Rent
adjustment is necessary and appropriate to:
a. Ensure the Landlord Property Owner receives a fair return on the investment; and
b. Not cause an undue financial burden on the affected Tenant respondent.
