This rider - now accompanying the renewal lease form RTP-8 - has within two sections: 1.) referencing vacancy leases and 2.)referencing renewal leases. Regarding the latter, i.e. a tenant signing a standard renewal lease:
It is understood that it's the LL's responsibility to include form RA-LR1 with the renewal lease offer, but does a rent stabilized tenant need to sign the RA-LR1 and return it?
Or is it advisable to simply ignore it?
Previously, the understanding was that the tenant is only required to sign the actual renewal lease form (for ex. RTP-8) and could/should decline to sign any other documentation accompanying the renewal lease. Does that advice still prevail with regards to the RA-LR1 form? Or are tenants signing it and returning it?
