DHCR 'Deems' Leases to Calculate Rent Overcharge

LVT Number: 9310

Tenant complained of a rent overcharge and also that landlord refused to renew his lease. Landlord argued that tenant didn't sign the renewal lease offered, and that there was no overcharge. The DRA deemed a two-year renewal lease from June 1987 to June 1989, and ordered landlord to offer tenant either a one- or two-year renewal lease after that. It also found a rent overcharge of $777. Landlord appealed, and the DHCR ruled for tenant, in part. The DRA had correctly calculated the amount of overcharge.
