My daughter just rented her first apartment in a rent stabilized building. A few red flags, she was shown a renovated apt as to what her apt would look like when finished. The landlord refused to put it in writing exactly what would be done and the lease signing was two weeks prior to move in date. Of course, she is dissapointed in the renovation which is very minimal and it doesn't resemble the renovated apt that was shown. I imagine she has no recourse there.
The real problem, she signed a rent stabilized lease which was supposed to have a rider attached but didnt. From research I see its supposed to show prior rent and all renovations as to how the current rent was calculated. Ive contacted the agent and he's giving the runaround basically a BS story. I Could be wrong but through research it seems this is required by law. Does she have any recourse? I feel she is being overcharged. The renovations were bare minimum, new stove and fridge. Shellac floors (no scraping) new small vanity reglazed tub and some tile work in bathroom.
My question,can she or does she have the right to demand this rider. I've already ordered a rent history. TIA
