391 A.2d at 768. The landlord’s statement that he raised the tenant’s rent to compensate for his added cost in collecting rent from him in no way addressed the question of the landlord’s legal entitlement to do so under the applicable rent ceiling, or, even more removed, the question of whether the notice of ’ rent increase adequately explained the basis for the rent ceiling adjustment on which the rent increase relied. Since the landlord was not fairly apprised that the adequacy of the notice of rent increase was at issue, the examiner abused discretion in finding that the rent increase in this case was illegal due to inadequate notice. The examiner’s order rolling back the rent increase and imposing a $1000 fine for an illegal rent increase is reversed. 11
