Defective Electrical Outlet

December 1, 2003

LVT Number: 17007

Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on a defective electrical outlet in the bedroom. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced his rent. Landlord appealed, claiming that this was a minor condition that didn't warrant a rent reduction. The DHCR ruled against landlord. A defective electrical outlet isn't a minor condition. It affects the use and enjoyment of tenant's apartment.
