On the form prescribed for the voluntary agreement, Temple listed as the “rent ceiling” the current rent of each unit, although, at that time, the agency had not determined the rent ceilings. The agreement, however, included the following typed-in statement: “[W]hile we [the tenants] are aware that the reported ceilings in Column “C” are in dispute, we wish to certify that the current rents are fair and reasonable and that they should become the ceilings for the respective apartments.” The agreement was signed by three tenants.20 Lobsenz and Kirkendall did not sign. Prior to the date of the agreement, a fire in Kirkendall’s unit rendered the unit uninhabitable and thus Kirkendall no longer occupied it.
