a question about rent freeze for older stabilized tenants

Postby KButler97 » Fri Jul 29, 2022 1:04 pm

Hi - we live in a rent-stabilized apartment. My husband is 66 years old, and I'll be 62 in 2023, when our lease is due for renewal. We've heard that we can apply for a rent freeze because we're age 62 and older. Is that true, and if so, how do we do this? Thanks.

Quick answer: Google "SCRIE" or Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption. You can apply right now, and it depends on your income and your level of rent. It's only for RS tenants. Follow-ups in the rent regulation forum.

Tenants in rent-controlled apartments may also apply for a SCRIE.

Sorry, yes LB, also RC ... and apparently also Mitchell Lama and HDFC.
