Commission accepts stipulated order setting rent at $15.65 and securing repairs in Burke v. Gillis
Summary
The commission accepted a signed stipulated order in Burke v. Gillis that sets rent for the premises at $15.65 from March 26 through the end of 2027 and requires the landlord to address additional work orders (bathroom plug and heat issues) in good faith consistent with applicable codes.
The Middletown Fair Rent Commission accepted a stipulated order in the Burke v. Gillis matter after parties reported an informal settlement and provided a signed stipulation.
Staff summarized the stipulation: rent for the premises will be set at $15.65 starting March 26 and continuing through the end of 2027; the landlord agreed to address newly-raised work orders (not listed in the original complaint) including a bathroom plug and certain heating issues in the unit in good faith and consistent with applicable codes. The stipulation included standard provisions about judicial jurisdiction and waiver of appeal rights under the agreement.
The parties confirmed they would provide signed copies of the stipulation to staff; the commission then moved to accept the stipulated order, a voice vote was taken and the commission recorded the order as accepted. Staff will match the signed copies and issue the final order to all parties.
The commission called the roll and members voted "Aye" to accept the stipulation; the chair instructed the parties to send signed originals to staff the next day so staff could publish the finalized order and include it in the administrative record.
