Synopsis

The tenant moved for discovery related to the landlord's claim of deregulation. The court granted the motion, finding that the landlord's rent registration history showed suspicious activity, including a significant rent increase followed by the introduction of preferential rent. The court determined that there was no applicable statute of limitations for a fraudulent deregulation claim and ordered the landlord to produce documents related to the deregulation.
