Landlord Replaced Only 66 Percent of Windows

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of new windows. The DRA ruled against landlord, who appealed and lost. The work didn’t qualify as an MCI but only repairs and maintenance. Landlord replaced only 37 out of 56 windows building-wide, or 66 percent. To qualify as an MCI, landlord must replace at least 80 percent of all apartment windows.
