Tenant Didn't Answer Landlord's Deregulation Application

August 23, 2016

LVT Number: #27178

Landlord applied for high-rent/high-income deregulation of tenant’s apartment in 2013. The DRA ruled for landlord based on tenant’s failure to respond to the DRA’s notice of landlord’s application. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant didn’t deny receiving the DRA’s initial or follow-up notices instructing tenant to answer or face apartment deregulation, and didn’t explain why he failed to answer. In his PAR, tenant claimed that his income was below the deregulation threshold.
