Tenant's Disability No Bar to Rent Restoration

LVT Number: #19773

(Decision submitted by James R. Marino of the Manhattan law firm of Kucker & Bruh, LLP, attorneys for the landlord.) Tenant complained of a reduction in services. The DRA ruled for landlord and reduced tenant's rent. Landlord later applied for rent restoration based on restoration of services. The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed, arguing that there should be no rent restoration because she was on disability. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Tenant presented no legal grounds to revoke her rent restoration. His disability wasn't relevant.
