Also to the people that think I'm not wanting to pay... I tried and they returnedy check. They told
Me they are not allowed to accept
Money on the apt since its illegal. I've done everything possible to move but they drag their feet on the apartment owed. I have the money owed by me 3 years in escrow just in case
You are a school teacher with this grammar? God help America.
You are a school teacher who has lived rent free since 2008 and you are bitching? God, PLEASE, help America.
There is a lot of hating in America. Lol. Well resigned
It. No help to the people
On here . Received my 2 bedroom renovated and a buyout of 15000 dollars. Oh and the rent is 850 utilities included for the apt in a great area. I will enjoy it with my bad grammar and all dat lol.
So, let me get this straight. NotsoNobleone...You're able bodied, well educated as a teacher, and just because you lived with your mom in that apartment and she knew the system, you're entitled to keep it? Shouldn't it go to someone who's truly needy?

No. That's not what rent control, actually rent stabilization, is. Of course he's entitled to keep it. Slum lords like Vantage (which even I have heard of, having never lived on the East Coast) are famous for skirting the law. In this case it was probably cheaper to let the tenant live rent free in an uninhabitable, illegal apartment than it would be to move them into a habitable, legal apartment as is required by law. Market rate on a 2bd apartment in Manhattan, even in Harlem, is $2,000+ unless it's a real dump.

Why is he entitled to keep it? Can you explain to me what rent control is and who it's supposed to benefit?

It's supposed to benefit whomever is in that apartment. Rent control is not Section 8; there are no income restrictions - it is/was not a program for the needy. It has nothing to do with a specific tenant's life circumstances.
When a tenant moves out of a rent-controlled apartment, that apartment is no longer under rent control.
Under rent stabilization, rent increases are limited to a certain percentage. I believe that when a tenant moves out of a rent stabilized apartment, the rent on that apartment can increase exponentially, and I'm not sure of whether it remains under rent stabilization (I posted the link above but no time to read it at the moment)
My rent stabilized NYC studio was $1290 per month.
If you choose to live in that situation than don't expect sympathy. The apartment sounds like it should be condemed but you continue to stay in those horrendous conditions. Ridiculous.
Jdm2008... Thanks for the HELPFULL reply. Me living in this apt has a lot to do with rents. I am a NYC public school teacher and I'm wanting to move on but the LL is not standing up to the court order. Rents in ny are about 1600 for a good one bedroom. Along with supplies for myself and students I'm barely staying a float. To the person that had nothing else better to say the bugs are due to a lack of cleaning.... 1234 let me not even respond to you. I will go to the ny forum might find someone that knows what they are talking bout and are willing to give advice instead of piling on.. Thanks again
