by Resolution Number 276 of 1974 of the New York City Council,

fuel adjustment" if any) for dwelling units subject to the Rent
Stabilization Law of 1969, as amended, for leases commencing on
or after October 1, 1982 and through September 30, 1983.
ADJUSTMENTS FOR RENEWAL LEASES
Together with such further adjustments as may be authorized by

These adjustments shall also apply to dwelling units in a

Section 421 of the Real Property Tax Law, or in a structure

signed pursuant to this Order. The Board may also consider any
catastrophic change in the Operation and Maintenance Cost Index
and order appropriate supplementary adjustments. The Board
reserves the right to modify this Order during its term pursuant
to this paragraph provided that any further adjustments described
in this paragraph shall apply to existing leases only where the
lease permits the rental reserved therein to be adjusted pursuant
to subsequent determinations of the Rent Guidelines Board during
the term of such lease.
LEASES ON VACANT APARTMENTS
Where a dwelling unit becomes vacant, the levels of rent increase
governing a new tenancy commencing on or after October l, 1982
and on or before September 30, 1983 are the same levels over
rentals charged on September 30, 1982 as those set forth above
for lease renewals.
FRACTIONAL TERMS
Except as to leases on vacant apartments, for the purpose of
these guidelines any lease or tenancy for a period up to and
including one year shall be deemed a one year lease or tenancy;
the same for a period over one year and up to and including two
years shall be deemed a two year lease; and the same for a period
over two years and up to and including three years shall be
deemed a three year lease. As to leases on vacant apartments, for
the purpose of these guidelines any lease for a period from one
year to less than two years shall be deemed a one year lease; the
same for a period from two years to less than three years shall
be deemed a two year lease; and the same for a period of three
years or more shall be deemed a three year lease.
ELECTRICAL INCLUSION ADJUSTMENT
For a lease for a dwelling unit for which the owner supplies full
electrical services for which there is no additional cost charged
to the tenant in addition to rent, the applicable lease
adjustments as established by this Order are to be the
adjustments for renewal and vacancy leases heretofore stated,
less one per cent.
ESCALATOR CLAUSES
Where a lease for a dwelling unit in effect on May 31,1968 or
where a lease in effect on June 30, 1974 for a dwelling unit
which became subject to the Rent Stabilization Law of 1969, by
virtue of Chapter 576 of the Laws of 1974 and Resolution Number
276 of the New York City Council, extended by Chapter 203 of the
Laws of 1977, and further extended by Chapter 383 of the Laws of
l981, contained an escalator clause for the increased costs of
operation and such clause is still in effect, the lawful rental
on September 30, 1982, over which the fair rent under this Order
is computed shall include the increased rental, if any, due under
such clause except those charges which accrued within one year of
the commencement of the renewal lease. Moreover, where a lease
contained an escalator clause which the owner may validly renew
under the Code, unless the owner elects or has elected in writing
to delete such clause, effective no later than October 1, 1982
from the existing lease and all subsequent leases for such
dwelling unit, the increased rental, if any, due under such
escalator clause shall be offset against the amount of increase
authorized under this Order.
STABILIZER
The one-half per cent "stabilizer" charged in leases pursuant to
previous Orders of this board shall remain in effect until the
expiration of such leases and shall be included in the base rents
for the purpose of computing subsequent rents or leases adjusted
pursuant to this Order.
