Portland Landlord Faces Massive Fines for Rent Control Violations: A Superior Court judge upholds a rent board decision, ordering landlord Geoffrey Rice to pay $170,500 in fines and refund tenants he overcharged at two buildings. The decision marks the boards largest fines ever for rent control violations, including failure to follow rollback rules. Tenants celebrate the ruling, while Rices attorney expresses disappointment and hints at further appeals. The decision could mean up to $500,000 in total refunds and bolsters the citys rent control ordinance. Meanwhile, the city is still negotiating a settlement with Rice over violations at fourteen more properties.
