Hello,
So I recently moved into an apartment rental that is at or below market, and I was very excited to find it. Upon signing the lease, I signed a rider that mentioned my waiving of the right to rent stabilization. I was confused by this, but I assumed that because the apartment was at/just below market that it had more to do with renewing my lease next year than what I was paying for this year. Management has still not given me a copy of the lease signed by them...I just contacted for the third time asking for it.
Anyways, after contacting DHCR for the rental history, it seems that there was a 400 dollar increase in the monthly rent since the previous tenants. The unit is registered as rent stabilized. What can I do? Is this legal?
