My landlord just lost the building to tax foreclosure. The building is under new ownership/management through Neighborhood Restore.
NR left a few letters addressed: "Tenant" under the building's entrance door notifying us of this change in ownership.
As far as I know I am a rent stabilized tenant in a SRO. I share a kitchen and a bath with other tenants. The Certificate of Occupancy describes my room as Class B. The Department of Buildings profile on my building state that its SRO restricted.
My questions:
I do not have a lease. I've lived here for a few years. Do I have to sign a lease?
In the letter that NR left by the door it sounds like they want a lot of information from the tenants. Drivers license, pay stubs, leases, utility bills, ect. Am I legally required to provide them with all of this information about me when I am already living here? The whole process seems a little invasive. As if I was appyling for section 8..
I always paid my rent by the week. Can I legally continue to do so?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
