Hi All

I was wonder if between tenants can a landlord increase the rent 20% if no modifications or repairs were made to the apartment.
One tenant left and a new one moved in without anything being done to the apartment and the rent increase is listed 20% more than what the previous tenant paid.

If the old tenants move out he can asks what he or she wants for the unit,for the new one,and once they rent reach a certain threshold,rent control no longer apply.also this is why so many landlord spend so much time trying to get folks to move they can find them a new sucker that do not know better and get him or her to pay jacked up rent for a craps apartment

This did not answer the question.
As the post reads it is rent stabilized NOT rent controlled.
The rent is still well with in the rent stabilized system.
No a landlord can not ask whatever they want in a rent stabilized apartment.

Once again Google to the rescue:




NYC Rent Guidelines Board


To wit:


"A provision in the Rent Regulation Reform Act of 1997 allows owners of rent stabilized units to raise by a certain percentage the legal rent of a vacant unit. For an incoming tenant who opts for a two-year lease, the vacancy allowance is 20%. For an incoming tenant who opts for a one-year lease, the vacancy allowance is 20% minus the percentage difference between the Rent Guidelines Board's (RGB’s) then-current guidelines for a two-year and a one-year lease. "

First of all turn off the all caps; no one here is either deaf nor blind.


Next while OP omitted to state the unit in question was either RC or RS in the body of post, that fact was made clear in the title of query.
