In Reply to: Lease renewal increase on non-stabilized apartment posted by Susan on November 21, 1998 at 18:01:01:

: For the last eight years, my friends and his family have been living in the same apartment. Their lease is up next month and they currently pay $700/mo. The area is improving and the landlord knows that he can probably get $1,200/mo for the same apartment. He told my friend that he is going to increase the rent to $925/mo. It is not a rent-controlled or stabilized building.
: Does anyone know if this is legal? Where can I look for paperwork about this?

OF course it's legal..........But remind him that shure he might get $1200 a month but
that you pay your rent on time......( you'd better have done this).....cause no problems
and will pay a small increase in rent (say to $800) ......

Remind him the next person might be a drug dealer, or a bum or will pay rent for a few
months and then just try and evict them....

If he still refuses to co operate....... you really dont have much choice if he wants to
be a greedy bastard
