Rent Reduction Order in Effect
LVT Number: 13623
Landlord applied for an MCI rent hike. The DHCR ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, claiming that the DHCR shouldn't have granted an MCI rent hike because there was a rent reduction order in effect. The court ruled for tenant. Since there was a rent reduction order in effect, the DHCR couldn't grant an MCI increase. The DHCR should have corrected this error.
