: renewal lease been a vacancy lease. This charge may be passed on to the subtenant."
: It goes on to state how when my friend returns to her apartment and the sublease
: is terminated, the Legal Regulated Rent reverts to pre-sublet vacancy allowance
: rent. My question is, is this true? and what percentage are we talking about?
