As to the comment about also having the option of filing in Civil
Court, instead of Supreme Court, the author is correct in stating
that if the amount in controversy is less than $25,000.00, Civil
Court is an available option. However, because usually it is
impossible to determine the amount of the rent overcharge (and whether trebe damages will be awarded) at the time of the commencement of
suit, starting the lawsuit in Supreme Court is recommended. If the amoun in controversy is ultimately determined to be less than 25k the
case can be transferred down to Civil.
Good luck!
