I have been in an apt for 6 yrs. Now my landlord says he wont renew my lease ending on mar 31 but I was a great tenant and he will give me a landlord reference letter.I do not want to move at all.
When I moved in he had me sign some typed up rider paragraph that said I wasnt rent stabilized. However the DHRC sent me a rent history saying I was.
But the big thing is he hasnt registered my apt in the past 4 yrs.
My first yr my legal rent was 1400, but my second yr he listed legal rent as 2380! That was clearly not the case bc I was in the apt and nothing was done to it. I want to stay in my apt but am worried since the last legal rent was 2380 (although it was a lie) that he will be able to demand I pay for it since it is outside of 4 yrs. Can the illegal entered rent no longer be challanged? But then again there are no records for the last 4 yrs on file w DHRC.Also the whole rent history of my apt is fraudulent. All increases were never legal.What do u think? Im trying to get a tenant lawyer to speak w but having a hard time.
