DRA Didn't Consider Prior Tenancy

LVT Number: 9002

Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. The DRA ruled for tenant, and imposed triple damages. Landlord appealed, arguing that the overcharge was too high because the DRA had omitted a prior tenant's lease from the rent calculations. The DHCR ruled for landlord, in part. The DRA had omitted the prior tenant's rent from his calculations. So, the overcharge gets reduced by about $5,400.
