Landlord and Tenant Disagree on Whether Rent Was Frozen

Tenant complained of rent overcharge. She claimed that landlord failed to lower her rent in compliance with outstanding rent reduction orders and pointed out that she received DRIE benefits. The DRA ruled for tenant. Landlord appealed and won, in part. Despite tenant’s claims to the contrary, landlord said that it did freeze tenant’s rent. The DHCR found no proof of overcharge payments and sent the case back to the DRA to reconsider all proof of what rent was paid.
