Hello Everyone
re: Lease sent late
the 150 and 90 day rule
The lease was sent late
My lease renewal was sent late on July 13 2023. My lease expired on 7/31/2023
I went to DHCR and they said since the lease was sent less then 90 days the commencement date should be 11/01/2023 on line 7 not 8/1/2023 and on line 1 the lease expiration date should be changed from 7/31/2023 to 10/31/2023 then I said ok and signed it.
The LL signed it too.
DRIE
Now i call DRIE and told them the new commencement date is 11/01/2023 not 8/01/2023.
I also told them the expiration date has been changed from 7/31/2023 to 10/31/2023.
DRIE is telling me the expiration date should be 7/31/2023 not 10/31/2023.
I told them the LL sent the lease late and the lease expiration date has been changed from 7/31/2023 to 10/31/2023 as per DHCR rules.
I need to renew my DRIE and DRIE won't do it because of they want to see 7/31/2023 as the expire date and the start date of the lease 8/1/2023. DRIE wants to know why the dates have changed in writing. DRIE is playing hard ball and wants to see 7/31/2023 as the expire date. I told them what if the LL sent the lease really late like in September or December does the expire still read 7/31/2023 ? I got no answer.
This greater then 150 and not lease then 90 days is confusing to some people and even between 2 city departments ( DRIE aka Department of finance and DHCR )
Question
The lease was sent less then 90 day on July 13 2023. In my case my lease expired on 7/31/2023 and was changed to 10/31/2023. 90 days because it was late according to DHCR
Is this how this no greater then 150 day to no less then 90 rule works? What do i do now ? I need to renew my DRIE.
Did DHCR make a mistake or does DRIE not understand ?
