Synopsis

The tenant association and tenants sued the landlord for rent overcharges, fraudulent initial leases with inflated rents, and housing violations. The court previously granted summary judgment for the tenants on the overcharge and fraudulent lease claims. This is a post-judgment report recommending the court confirm its findings that the landlord willfully overcharged rent, issued illegal fraudulent leases requiring rent freezes, and that the tenants are entitled to recover damages, penalties, and attorneys' fees to be determined.
