Landlord Collected Garage Rent Overcharge

February 1, 1993

LVT Number: 6689

The DHCR ruled that landlord had willfully overcharged garage tenants. It reduced garage rents for all 84 tenants of the building for whom garage service was provided in connection with the leasing of their apartments. Landlord's appeal was denied. The DHCR's rulings were rational; landlord failed to prove that the overcharges weren't willful.
