Work Done After Tenant Moved In

LVT Number: 13935

Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. The DRA ruled for tenant, and landlord appealed, claiming that the DRA should have allowed a rent increase for improvements made to tenant's apartment. The DHCR ruled against landlord. Landlord's own records showed that the work was done after tenant moved into the apartment, and landlord didn't get tenant's written consent for any rent increase.
