notify tenants of the right to

office that they had in-

The company finally did
this July 30, after tenants had
complained to the Ren-
talsman.

legislation was in effect that
did not allow a landlord to
increase rent on a unit within

‘COURAGE

Last week’s ruling came
about as a result of, the
courage and persistance of
the tenants, said Greg
Richmond, vice-president af
the NSTA, and is a “bloody
nose” for the company
which had_ refused to
cooperate with tenants when
they first complained of the
rent hikes.

The townhouse complex,

units, is sited at Rufus Drive
and Cedar Village Road in
North Vancouver, on
property leased from North
Vancouver City.

Two noisy council
meetings have ensued as
Rufus Park tenants, led by
NSTA spokesmen Richmond
and Richard Blackburn,
demanded their landlord
come before council to show
why their lease should not be
voided.

The company has broken
two clauses of its lease with
the City. says Richmond:
one that states it will not
break any laws, which it did
when it didn't notify tenants
of their right to appeal rent
increases, and another that
states the company shall

maintain the property.

REFUSED

The company refused to _

go before council on
grounds that the case was
already before the Ren-
talsman’s office.

Mayor Jack Loucks told
tenants and NSTA

spokesman Richmond at a |

council meeting ‘last week
that-the City, as landlord,
can't take away Cressey’s
lease but can sue Cressey if
the company is violating any
legislation.

But according to the City
solicitor ¢here are no
grounds for such a suit, said
Loucks.

‘Richmond slammed the
City for saying there was no
case, calling council a
“developers’ council”.

He is recommending
tenants take class action on
their own behalf against
Cressey.

Richmond also estimated
the apartment complex is
costing Cressey, “at a liberal
estimate”, about $450 a
month including the cost of
the City lease.
