Sammy61 should keep in mind that this person does not live here. He occupies a predatory position from somewhere else - an "agenda," as it were. If there were more regulated units you could find a place to live - people once did.
Agree that you should seek redress regarding your injury, advice of another poster.
For your information, I do live in NYC and am I making it up that the housing laws are anti-landlord? Especially pertaining for disabled tenants, tenant with kids, seniors and so forth? And these laws apply to both free market and rent stabilized tenants. So having "more" rent stabilized apartment means jack shyt on the matter.

Disagree, that aside - you yourself had said that you do not live here.
I would not have said that otherwise.
I wish that those landlords who flout the law would be prosecuted.
How would you prosecute landlords for this? All a landlord has to do is run a credit check and you'll eliminate 90% of section 8 tenants. And once you ask for references from previous landlords, you'll eliminate the rest. No sane landlord will willingly take on a problem tenant, which 95% of section 8 tenants are.

You could prosecute landlords who advertise their apartments with ads stating "No Section 8".
That is illegal.

And the landlords would challenge the court in law as unconstitutional. There is nothing in the constitution that specifiy states that landlords must take vouchers. There are no federal laws requiring this either.

Landlords in some areas have pushed back against local "income discrimination" laws; sometimes they are successful, others not.
