Synopsis
Handwritten opinion. In this holdover proceeding, the court granted the tenant's motion for discovery regarding the apartment's regulatory status. The landlord claimed the unit was deregulated, but the DHCR rent history showed an unexplained jump from a legal regulated rent to exempt status. The court's decision allows the tenant to obtain records necessary to prepare their defense, finding it crucial for determining the apartment's true rent-stabilized status and facilitating either a settlement or trial.
