No MCI Rent Hike for Tenant Until Rent Restored
LVT Number: #19859
Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new roof and building entrance doors. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, claiming that there should be no rent increase because services hadn't been maintained. The DHCR ruled against tenant. There was no building-wide rent reduction order in effect, so landlord was entitled generally to collect the MCI rent increase. However, since there was an individual rent reduction order in effect based on reduction in services to tenant's apartment, landlord couldn't collect the MCI rent increase from tenant until her rent was restored. An additional DHCR order wasn't required.
