Another reason the text of renewal riders has not changed is because HCR has not yet issued updates for its own rider for rent-stabilized apartments.karen hall wrote:Any thoughts? Anyone received a new rider since the new laws passed in June?

Gotta watch out for confusing language here: the phrase "legal rent" is too similar to the phrase "legal regulated rent" so I try to avoid the phrase "legal rent" entirely. It is important to realize that the new law does NOT re-set the legal regulated rent to the current level of preferential rent. Rather, it mandates applying RGB rent increases to the preferential rent paid by the current tenant rather than the legal regulated rent.TenantNet wrote:Actually there is. The PR becomes the legal rent -
If the increase in rent the LL asks for in the renewal does not exceed the maximum allowable under the new law then all is well.Even if a LL knows something is "unenforceable," tenants don't, and if they go ahead and pay something (or just have fear of what might happen if they don't) that is not required to be paid, well that is illegal.
If the renewal rent agrees with the new law then how is it harassment? It is not....but issuing an old rider that is blatantly illegal, is harassment, and is illegal.
