You do not give up a rent controlled apt. Never, ever. Paying the difference for a year is nice for a year and then he's paying market rate.

He'll never get another rent controlled apt. I would sit tight and call a lawyer. They can't kick him out but they will do all kinds of things to annoy him to want to move.

- Why would he have to move? Is the building or apt. being taken out of rent control? If not, they can't make him move. - Krusty Oct 6, 06:57 1

- with all the cameras and recording devices around I would think it would be super easy to prove arrassment in this day and age compared to 10-20 years - Beaker Oct 6, 06:51 8

        I'd set nanny cams up pointing at the door and a few other spots to record unapproved access to start - Beaker Oct 6, 06:58 4

        I'd just be petty like that :) (now if my iwfe and kids were in the picture it would be different, young and single fuck 'em) -- nm - Beaker Oct 6, 07:04

not knowing the rules, can he offer to let them do their work and take an apartment at his old rate? or would that bypass his legal protecions? -- nm - Beaker Oct 6, 06:49 3
- He would likely get to stay while they fixed all the other apartments. They can do their work around him, it's been done many times. - Krusty Oct 6, 06:54

  - If they tear the building down then I don't know what happens. That's a more tricky situation. -- nm - Krusty Oct 6, 06:58
