Synopsis
The tenant appealed pro se the dismissal of his amended complaint against the landlord by the Appellate Division, First Department. The tenant claimed that a 421-a rider erroneously attached to his lease entitled him to rent stabilization status. However, the court found that rent stabilization rights cannot be created by waiver or estoppel. Additionally, the tenant lacked standing to enforce the regulatory agreement between the landlord and the City of New York. The court upheld the dismissal, ruling in favor of the landlord.
