So I've noticed that my current building meets all requirements for rent stabilization, as it was constructed prior to 1971, and it has over 6 units. I requested my rent history and it is as follows:
1984 RC 150
1985 RENT CONTROL - REG NOT REQUIRED
1986 RENT CONTROL - REG NOT REQUIRED
1987 RS-V NC 0
1988 RS 950
1989 RS 978
1990 RS 900
1991 RS 940
1992 RS 850
1993 RS 825
1994 RS 850
Continues like this until the next tenant.
2003 RS 1359.47
2004 RS 1420.65
2005 PE EXEMPT HIGH RENT VACANCY
2006 EXEMPT APARTMENT - REG NOT REQUIRED
2007 EXEMPT APARTMENT - REG NOT REQUIRED
And it says that all the way to 2022.
So, it's pretty clear to me that this is a unit with a history of rent stabilization that was for some reason exempted in 2005, I don't think that it meets the requirements for high rent exemption.
My question is, what's my next step? It's an interesting situation for me, because my lease I signed says it is (FOR APARTMENTS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RENT STABILIZATION LAW), but it is notably copyrighted in 2019. There is no mention of preferential rent anywhere as well. I've already negotiated my next lease, but have yet to sign it. My conclusion is that the HSTPA of 2019 has made my unit stabilized, but I have no idea what the preferential rent actually is because my lease has no mention of preferential rent.
I will provide as many details as needed!
