hi, i'm about to sign a lease for a 1800 sq. foot residential space in brooklyn...the landlord wants to install an individual heat/hot water set-up in the apartment, deduct $100 per month from our rent, but make us responsible for the utility bills as a result.
1) what are the landlord's obligations for heat / hot water in brooklyn?
2) is this a fair deal he is proposing?
thanks!
