The order from the RTB is in with the 8% increase approved. (Tenant's should have received a letter last week.)
It is now time to get moving towards the appeal. The appeal with the RTC is an entirely new process -- separate from whatever happened with the RTB.
The important thing is that as many tenants as possible actually FILE THE APPEAL. That and gathering the evidence (i.e. photos, info on apartment disrepair via questionnaires, etc.) is what needs to happen now.
The letter states you need to apply to the Residential Tenancies Commission* (1650-155 Carlton St, Winnipeg MB R3C 3H8) IN PERSON or by mail no later than Monday, April 27, 2009. Bring with you a copy of the order.
*The RTC is not the same as the Residential Tenancies Branch.
More information about the RTC can be found here: http://www.ppmamanitoba.com/articles/a0000018.html
** It is HIGHLY recommended that you apply in person - it removes any doubt that the appeal has been filed.
