Petition Didn't State Apartment's Rent-Stabilized Status

January 1, 1993

LVT Number: 6629

Landlord sued to evict SRO tenant for nonpayment of rent. Landlord was a non-profit corporation operating a low-income hotel under state law and with government funding. Landlord's petition didn't state the rent-stabilized status of the unit. The court found that tenant's unit was subject to rent stabilization because tenant's monthly rent was less than the $350 maximum set by the law for hotel units and the hotel was operated for a charitable purpose, with government funding. Landlord's petition was dismissed because it didn't state the unit's rent-stabilized status.
