§ 17.60.010. Just and Reasonable Return.

Nothing in this title shall be construed to prevent the grant of a rent adjustment upon application by a landlord when required to permit a just and reasonable return to the landlord. This section is a savings clause which provides a basis for a hearing examiner or the Rent Stabilization Commission to receive relevant evidence, in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Commission, demonstrating that a landlord is not receiving a just and reasonable return under the provisions of the net operating income formula so that the application of the formula may be modified to provide a just and reasonable return. Thus, this section does not provide a basis for evaluating rent increase applications independent of the net operating income formula.
