I just lost my DHCR case--reduction in services, rent stabilized apartment. Rent was lowered, but is restored retroactive to last July. I am going to appeal by filing a PAR.
Does the filing of the PAR stay the whole shebang--I keep paying the lower rent? Or do I pay the higher rent and the retroactive portion is stayed (as it was when the rent reduction was ordered years ago, and the landlord filed a PAR).
I am not sure. I looked up the Rent Stabilization Code on this website and it doesn't help. Neither do the fact sheets, advisory opinions, etc. on the DHCR website.
Does anybody have a clue? I need to know by the end of the month.
