One Tenant Complains of Faulty Windows

November 1, 1995

LVT Number: 10114

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of new roof and windows. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed. Tenant claimed she shouldn't have to pay the rent increase because of a faulty window installation. Tenant pointed out that another tenant's windows were defective and that tenant didn't have to pay the MCI increase. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Tenant's minor difficulty with the new windows wasn't sufficient grounds to revoke the MCI increase. But landlord was ordered to make repairs.

And since landlord had now shown that the other tenant's windows were repaired, that tenant now also should pay the MCI increase.
