Talk:Municipal Tax Increase by Extraordinary Amount (LTB)

Case Study Example

• L5 Filing Date: December 1, 2021
• First intended rent increase date: March 1, 2022
• Base Year Claimed by LL: 2020
• Reference Year Claimed by LL: 2019
• Prior AGI Order creates accounting period of January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021
• Guideline Rent Increase (2020): 2.2%
• Guideline Rent Increase (2019): 1.8%

Because the application was filed on December 1, 2021, the base year is 2020 because the last completed calendar year immediately preceding the day that is 90 days before the effective date of the first intended rent increase referred to in the application is 2020. The reference year is 2019 because 2019 is the 12-month period immediately preceding the base year.
