Tenant's Opposition to MCI Application Rejected

December 1, 2006

LVT Number: 19276

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes. The DHCR ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant's opposition to landlord's MCI application was filed by tenant's attorney. But there was no proof that tenant's attorney was authorized to act on tenant's behalf. In addition, the DHCR reasonably allowed an MCI rent hike for landlord's capital improvement as well as necessary work performed in connection with, and directly related to, the MCI.
