According to links below, rent stabilized apartments can have their rent deregulated due to high income. So if one or both partners make a total of over $200K for 2 years, the rent can become destabilized. Anyone can confirm?

OP is confident that it will work out so they are jumping in with both feet. Hopefully it will work out for them and the money they save by living together they can put it together to move up to a bigger apartment for more space for a child or buy a house or coop.
Honestly, I personally wouldn't do it unless I have a backup plan due to anything can happen. Ive already been in that situation of partners don't know the meaning of personal space causing me to end relationships. like if im in the bathroom brushing my teeth or taking a shower don't come up in there and use the toilet regardless if its a 1 or 2. NO!, don't sit on the toilet. Same as using the bathroom, If they are in there, close the damn door! I don't need to know they are in there sitting on the toilet.
THIIISSSSS
Especially if it's number 2. Sh*t and hot steamy soapy smell does not mix. Ohhhhh... that odor. I am crying.

While that is true in theory, many of these "low income" or whatever lottery apartments are "permanently affordable" by agreement with city. So what happens when or if a tenant(s) reach luxury decontrol income levels likely is spelled out in contractual agreements.
Then again maybe not but it does raise interesting questions, and can show once again how two-faced the whole RS system/affordable housing system truly is on ground.
logical guess would be definitely a +1 is allowed
you can't force someone to be single, right?
only question would be if you're allowed +1 and children or +2
I have personally never seen an affordable apartment that have 3 occupants in a 1 bedroom. The max ive ever seen is 2 in 1 bedroom. 4 in a 2 bedroom. etc.
Well, he has been living there for 2 1/2 years not really moving in with him after he signed the lease . We have never lived together. I wish I could get an answer from someone who was in my shoes.
Did you move in what happened?? I might be in this predicament soon?
I would say that you can move in after six months or so, or a year if you really want to play it safe. The affordable housing program understands that people’s lives change.
To my knowledge there is no actual rule that specifies when another person can move in. If you move in quickly, your boyfriend can be charged with fraud for lying about the size of his household and the amount of money coming in.
The exception would be if your boyfriend has to requalify annually. In that case, when your income is added to his, the household income might be too high. The answer will be in his lease.
