Synopsis
In this nonpayment case, the tenant argued that the apartment had been improperly deregulated and that she had been overcharged. After a strong motion for summary judgment, the parties reached a favorable settlement for the tenant. The landlord agreed to re-establish the rent-stabilized tenancy, reduce the rent to $1,900, waive arrears of approximately $20,000, and grant an 18-month rent credit. The landlord also agreed to complete certain repairs and sign a renewal lease by March 2025.
