Failure to Refinish Floor Is Minor Condition

January 1, 2011

LVT Number: #23134

Tenant complained of a reduction in services based on various apartment conditions. The DRA ruled for tenant and reduced her rent. Landlord later applied for rent restoration based on the restoration of services. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant claimed that landlord hadn't refinished or shellacked the apartment floors. But this was a de minimis--that is, minor--condition that didn't warrant any rent reduction under Rent Stabilization Code Section 2523.4(e).
