FAQ - It is said landlords always win.

History shows us the contrary. In the past few years, Metropolitan Structures obtained roughly:

FIXATION	PER RÉGIE DU LOGEMENT	INSTEAD OF
2002	0,4% unheated, or electric heat	5%
2002	2,1% gas heated	5%
2001	0,4% unheated, or electric heat	5% or 3%
2001	1,7% gas heated	5% or 3%
2001	2,2% gas heated + new elevators	5% or 3%
2000	0,66% to 1,05%	3%
1999	1,5%	1,5%
1998	0,5%	1

It’s important to note that it’s not a question of “winning”. As we mentioned previously, the Régie calculates the actual increase based on set criteria.

The figures required to calculate “Fixation 2003” (the one you are now involved in) are not yet fully available. However, NITA forecasts increases far below what the Landlord is proposing.
