It was recently confirmed here that Window Guards and Lead-Based Paint notices are required to be returned to the landlord.
Are there any other notices or similar documents that also have to be returned?
E.g., an acknowledgment that "There is NO Maintained and Operative Sprinkler System in the Leased Premises" is one I've also received, seeking my "acknowledgement & signature."
Is that also required?
It's a bizarre notice, since it's worded as "being provided to me to help me make an informed decision about the Leased Premises in accordance with New York State Real Property Law Article 7, Section 231a".
Make what decision?
I guess maybe it's an invitation to terminate my tenancy because there's no sprinkler system. [?] How else to interpret it?
Also weird because there's already a clause in the renewal lease for this:
"10. Leased premises does __ does not __ have an operative sprinkler system. If operative, it was last maintained and inspected on __________________."
The "does not" is already marked with an 'X' on the form.
Thanks.
