Hello,
I live in a Williamsburg apartment, and I've been in this place for seven years. I've never had a lease, but a decent relationship with the landlord. I've never really had problems. Luckily. Last year my rent was (verbally) increased from $700 to $800. I paid it. Now, he wants to increase it to $900. Is there a limit, a certain percentage, that he can increase the rent each year?
