i recently renovated my apt. my landlord started a lease termination because of it. here's some background. i have a rent stable lease. i ask the land lord to renovate my apt last year and her refused. i asked them to replace my water heater because it was old and wanted it them to move it to the next room for my space in my tiny bathroom and they refused. so renovated the bathroom myself last month. i replace the tiles and some dry wall. replace the sink and new tiles on the floor. i then moved the old water heater to the next room. everything was fine but after a couple of days the water heater started leaking. probably from moving it but possibly not cause i was using it fine for a day or 2. anyway the landlord is now starting legal action to terminate my lease for renovating the bathroom without his permission. i didn't even know he can do that he never even sends the rider with the info regarding that stuff with the lease. any info on the matter would be appreciated. thanks [less]
