I feel your plight and thank you for posting the article, it was very helpful.
Similarly, we were served with an AGI application in November 2018 to the tune of 7.11% with N1's for 2019 & then 2020 for 3% each year stating we could pay the higher rent amount in order to avoid paying a lumpsum later. In 2021 we were seeved with the final N1 for 1.1% because if you've been served with an AGI application, the rent freeze of 2021 didn't apply.
So we eventually went to a hearing and was able to get the amount dropped to 6.75% from 7.11% due to a number of inconsistencies in their documents.
When the order was served we were surprised to we they want arrears over the 3 yrs and my rent went up moving forward by 6.75%. We had clarified in the hearing that the increase only applies to the 3 years and it wasn't an attempt to close the gap on market rent. I was prepared to pay my portion and lump sum but was surprised I was slammed with an ongoing amount.
Does anyone have experience in interpreting an AGI order and how it is applied after it is served?
