My landlord recently decided to jump my rent $300 due to the fact that I have a part time roommate. She complained that I didn't tell her about the roommate but she was well aware that she was here. And she's not here about half the time.
She said the increase was as "punishment" for my not telling her she moved in. I told her since she's not here most of the time, she stays with others I didn't think that counted.
Since I'm unregulated, I know she can raise my rent but since she stated that it was "punishment" isn't that retaliatory?
Also, I found out from HPD that my building is not registered with them and hasn't been for years. It's a three unit bldg. What can I do with that?
Thanks.
