Hi,
My grandparents have lived for thirty years in a rent stabilized apartment in Harlem. Recently, my grandfather passed away and my grandmother subsequently moved to be with my uncle in another state.
Their apartment is currently occupied by members of their church, in repayment for their help during my grandfather's illness.
What is involved for me to move into the apartment, to inherit the lease (which will expire at the end of 2002)? Currently, about 60% of the rent is paid by the Housing Authority.
In the building, there is a tenant organization that I was thinking of asking advice from.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
