Apartment Previously Deregulated

February 1, 2004

LVT Number: 17124

Tenants claimed that they were subject to rent stabilization. The DHCR ruled against tenants based on the fact that there was a prior rent administrator's ruling that the apartment was deregulated. Tenants appealed, claiming that the prior ruling was invalid. The court and appeals court ruled against tenants. When tenants moved into the apartment in May 1995, the apartment was already deregulated because the monthly rent was more than $2,000. And at that time, the law didn't require landlord to give tenants notice of the prior deregulation.
