Hello All...
Issue #1
LL took me to housing court for non-payment case because they claimed I was months behind in rent. Case was discounted the day of count by LL as I did in fact PAY MY RENT. Now, because of all this I ended up paying an extra month because LL won't send correct invoices. Now LL is charging me legal fees for the dropped case. LL refuses to call me or email me back. Any suggestions on how I get them to credit my account and avoid paying the legal fees?
Issue #2
My apt is RS, but did not know this when lease was signed last year. There was no LEASE Rider For Rent Stabilized and broker/LL did not disclosed this fact. I only know this now because of renewal lease form I signed stated apt was RS.
Now, I'm wondering if my LL is overcharging me rent... I contacted the DHCR and received the apt registration going back to 1984. The last reported rent is from 2005. From '06-'14 it states REG NOT FOUND FOR SUBJECT PREMISES. I pay a round number for rent and the last people here moved out right before I moved in. How should I go about investigating what my legal rent should be?
Many THANKS
