Facts: A group of landlords sued Nassau County Rent Guidelines Board. They claimed that a portion of Guideline #34 was invalid.

But the Guidelines Board extended that one percent reduction to all tenants. Court: Landlords win. The Rent Guidelines Board didn't have the authority to extend SCRIE benefits to other tenants. The disputed portion of the Rent Guideline was declared null and void.
