On page 5, after line 9 of the striking amendment, insert the following:

"(3)(a) During any 12-month period of the tenancy after the first

12 months of the tenancy, a landlord may increase rent for the

dwelling unit by any amount if:

(i) A landlord has paid for improvements to the dwelling unit or

the common areas of the rental property that the tenant has

unrestricted access to, for which the costs or the tenant's

proportional share of the costs were greater than an amount equal to

four months' rent; and

(ii) The improvements were made during the 12 months immediately

preceding the month in which the landlord gives the tenant written

notice of the rent increase.

(b) For the purposes of this subsection, "improvements" do not

include basic maintenance."

maintenance, to your dwelling unit or common areas, for which the

costs or your proportional share of the costs were greater than an

amount equal to four months' rent, and the improvements were made

during the 12 months immediately preceding this notice, so the rent

and fee increase limit in section 101 of this act does not apply. (The

landlord must include facts or attach documents supporting the

exemption.)"

preceding the month in which the landlord gives the tenant written

notice of the rent increase.

maintenance, to your manufactured/mobile home lot or common areas, for

which the costs or your proportional share of the costs were greater

than an amount equal to four months' rent, and the improvements were

made during the 12 months immediately preceding this notice, so the

rent and fee increase limit in section 201 of this act does not apply.
