As I understand it, last year the city came down on landlords who were benefiting from the 421-a tax breaks and were supposed to offer tenants rent stabilized leases right away...My landlord notified me of my right to rent stabilized status but has not provided me with a new lease yet. it's been nearly 6 months and I have had no word. I will have to notify regarding renewal soon...I want to move in with my partner and would love to stay in this apartment but it is a two-bedroom and we might find a cheaper one-bed and/or try to get on the property ladder. As a 6th-year resident and 4 year leaseholder I filed for potential overcharging and my case has been accepted but the building is not coming up on the dchr website yet... what should i do? stay in the apartment no matter what and hope it is cheaper than a market rate one bed? any other advice?
