Landlord Proved It Sent Registration to Tenant

Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. The DRA considered tenant's complaint as a fair market rent appeal and overcharge complaint. The DRA ruled against tenant. Tenant appealed and lost. Landlord showed that it delivered the RR-1 form to tenant by submitting a certified mail return receipt signed by tenant. Tenant hadn't filed an objection within 90 days. Also, there was no subsequent overcharge. Later rent increases were all consistent with applicable rent guidelines.
