Matter Of Haskin V New York State Div. Of Hous. & Community Renewal

Matter of Haskin v New York State Div. of Hous. & Community Renewal

A tenant sued her landlord believing she had been overcharged for rent, claiming that her apartment should have been subject to rent stabilization laws. While it had been regulated prior to the tenant moving in, it had undergone substantial renovation eight years before filing her overcharge complaint, and the apartment was deregulated due to a high-rent vacancy prior to the beginning of her tenancy. As a result, the court ruled it was not subject to rent stabilization, and the overcharge claim was dismissed: https://www.nycourts.gov/reporter/3dseries/2022/2022_02064.htm
