Two years ago I filed a Lease Renewal Violations/Overcharge complaint with DHCR because the LL refused to renew the Rent Stabilized lease AND I believed he was overcharging me.
In March DHCR sent me the LL's response which said he was charging this rent because I have a pet and he wanted me out (not a valid reason)
Then in May 2002 DHCR orderd the LL to issue a lease. The LL filed a PAR stating he had already given me one, which of course I still haven't received..
I just checked the DHCR website today and discovered my complaint has been closed without any decision on the rent issue. So I telephoned DHCR and they advised me to fine a new Overcharge complaint. .
Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should do to avoid waiting another two years for a decision?
