In the current rent decrease proceeding, the hearing examiner found that SMP’s changes to the hot tub and sauna from the previously available temperature and timing levels “represent[ed] a failure to provide adequate housing services which were included in the base rent. . . .”7 (Italics added.) Despite the language used by the hearing examiner, the parties have approached the issues here as a matter involving a “decrease in services” within the meaning of section 1805(e). The implicit consensus is that a landlord may provide “adequate housing services” without providing tenants with a hot tub and/or sauna. RGB has also used terminology to the effect that there was a “decrease in registered base amenities.” We understand this phraseology to encompass a “decrease in services” within the meaning of section 1805(e).
