Furthermore, treating these discrete fees as outside the ambit of rent would create
incongruities in the Act’s treatment of short-term leases. As acknowledged in the parties’
papers, some lessors choose to assess the additional charge in the form of an increased monthly
rent payment, rather than as a discrete charge. Tenants that enter into short-term leases that have
a single, increased rent charge would have their full amount of rent qualify for subsidy under the
Act. Conversely, tenants entering into short-term leases that impose two separate charges would
not. The definition of rent encompasses all monies paid in consideration for the periodic use of
property not simply the discrete charge labelled as rent in a lease agreement.
