Amend 4 rent board regulations to clarify procedures and extend decision timelines
In Plain English
The rent board currently faces procedural unclear rules and tight deadlines for hearing decisions. These changes clarify that landlords and tenants need preponderance of evidence to win cases. The rent board gains power to dismiss incomplete petitions and decide simple cases without full hearings. Hearing examiners get 30 extra days to issue decisions.
