If there is a tax increase, 0.7% must be added for each tax increase of 5 %,但我不知道tax increase是多少,所以无从计算。有朋友知道吗?
第二,关于维修费用,我也怀疑是否应分摊那么多。上面的网页说,Adjustment rate applied to major repairs and improvements : 4,2 %
It means that each $1000 spent for major repairs and improvements brings an additional increase of $3.50 per month and that increase has to be divided by the number of dwellings that did benefit from the expense.
1. call "access montreal" for any information regarding tax modification. it might be increased or decreased. if it's decreased, it will cause your rent decreased accordingly at this point. but rental increase for a gas heated building is 0.4%. 3% something is a way too high.
2. call the landlord to ask for 2 specific numbers. one is the lump sum of the major repair to the whole building. second is the lump sum of the major repair to your appartment. then you can caculate by yourself. it doesn't make any sense for you to caculate from 3% to get a number. all you need to do is to get the numbers first, then caculate to see if 3% matches with the numbers.
it is your right to check and ask where are those two 3% from.
