Tenant's Complaint Filed Too Late

LVT Number: 11459

(Decision submitted by Robert H. Berman of the Manhattan law firm of Borah, Goldstein, Altschuler & Schwartz, P.C., attorneys for the landlord.) Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. Tenant filed her complaint in 1992, although she'd moved out of the apartment in 1986. The DRA ruled against tenant. The four-year statute of limitations on overcharge complaints applied. Since tenant's complaint was filed at least six years after the last possible overcharge date, tenant's complaint was too late.
