Senior Citizen rental rules

No.

No.

In the last few days' paper there've been ads by the Met Council for lotteries to get into their poor-and-old apartments. See http://metcouncilonhousing.org/

Nor should there be.

Best of luck with your apt. lottery entry, Matthew.

I won't be needing an apartment lottery, thank you very much. The retirement is buttoned up. No worries.

It's bad enough that NYC rent control allows tenants to live virtually free at the expense of landlords. If you can't afford to stay in your apartment because you are old, unemployed, broke, whatever - do what everyone else in America does. Move. It's not up to someone else to pay your way.

It is up to someone else if the law says it is. Morality is for the immoral.
