Before you file, know what your AGI may be worth.
Know the Numbers Before You File
Not every potential Above Guideline Increase application makes financial sense.
Before an AGI application is filed, Gobin & Leyenson LLP conducts a comprehensive preliminary analysis using proprietary AGI software. We assess the proposed expenditures, calculate the anticipated Above Guideline Increase, and evaluate the projected return on investment.
This allows Ontario landlords and property managers to make an informed business decision about whether proceeding with an AGI application is economically justified before committing the time and resources required to prepare and advance the application.
