doctrine unless a proceeding seeking review of, or otherwise challenging, a rent increase is actually pending before the Commission prior to the commencement of the L & T trial. Where such a proceeding is pending, the trial court should either stay the possessory action pending the administrative determination of the validity of the rent increase or, at the option of landlord, proceed with the trial on the basis of the rent less the challenged increase. We therefore reverse and remand the trial court’s denial of the 7% rent increase effective January 1, 1980. In all other respects, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
