Garage Space Required

LVT Number: 16560

Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. Landlord had sent tenant a bill for 48 months of parking space rent. Tenant claimed the parking space was a base date service included in his rent. Landlord claimed the parking space wasn't a required service. The DRA ruled for tenant. Landlord appealed and lost. The DRA properly found that the garage space was a base date service and that landlord waived its right to collect garage space rent. It didn't matter that the parking service wasn't included in tenant's lease.
