           Quite the contrary, the RHC‘s interpretation avoids complications for
administering the Act that might arise from the broader interpretation of the term
―rent‖ that petitioner urges. As the intervenors argued before the RHC, petitioner‘s
approach ―takes no account whatsoever of the benefit he received from his rent
being locked in at its then current level for a full year. Using his own logic, that
would have resulted in monetary benefit to him, thereby resulting in a ‗real‘ rent
lower than his leasehold rent and a corresponding monetary detriment to [the
housing provider].‖
