Increase for Tenant's Apartment Correctly Calculated

(Decision submitted by James R. Marino of the Manhattan law firm of Kucker & Bruh, LLP, attorneys for the landlord.) Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, claiming that the rent increase for his apartment was calculated improperly. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Tenant claimed that his apartment contained two and a half rooms. The DHCR doesn't count half rooms. Plus tenant was charged for two rooms in the computation of his MCI rent increase. There was no error.
