Landlord Can Discontinue Preferential Rent
LVT Number: 19153
Tenant complained of a rent overcharge. The DRA ruled against tenant, finding no overcharge. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant had previously paid a preferential rent, but landlord didn't offer tenant a preferential rent with the most recent lease renewal. Tenant claimed that this was an overcharge. However, landlord was allowed to discontinue the preferential rent under Rent Stabilization Law Section 26-511(c)(14). Landlord legally charged tenant a renewal increase based on the prior legal regulated rent, which was higher than the preferential rent.
