A tenant tipped me off in the building that the RS unit that I've moved into was part of a DHCR rent freeze/reduction still in effect for the first 2 years after moving in - however the LL claims it is not bc the (male) that signed onto the DHCR order for apartment 11(my unit) was not on any leases and/or occupancy documents. The primary (female) tenant was the only person noted on all documentation. (or so he says)
Upon investigation it was an engaged couple that lived in the apartment before me - for all the years they lived in the unit. Now married - but it appears like they moved out before the order went into effect.
Any information on the accuracy of my ll's claim? Should the landlord perhaps responded to the DHCR at the time they received the violation and/or the order reducing/freezing rent?
