■ Hearing examiner Blaher determined that Kirkendall’s absence from the apartment building disqualified him as a “tenant” for purposes of determining the number of tenants needed to constitute 70%. Blaher, however, invalidated the agreement on the basis of the inaccuracy of the rent ceiling on the form. The RHC affirmed Blaher’s invalidation based on the inaccurate rent ceilings. The agency also deter*1037mined that Kirkendall should have been included in the total number of tenants for purposes of determining whether 70% had signed. Since we agree that Kirkendall was still a tenant for purposes of the voluntary agreement, and since his inclusion as a tenant means that only 60% of the tenants signed the agreement, we need not address the RHC’s other basis for invalidating the agreement.
