Landlord Can't Collect MCI Rent Hike from Tenant Receiving SCRIE

December 18, 2016

LVT Number: #27387

Westchester rent-stabilized tenant complained of rent overcharge. The DRA ruled for tenant, finding that tenant’s rent was frozen at $687 because tenant had a SCRIE. Landlord appealed and lost. Landlord argued that tenant should pay the retroactive portion of an MCI rent hike that applied to a period before tenant had SCRIE. But the county’s SCRIE order was issued on Oct. 24, 2013, and specified that the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption applied to the MCI rent hike that was made effective Nov. 1, 2013.
