Rent Control
Rent controlled apartments are not as prevalent as rent stabilized apartments but still exist in New York State, mostly in New York City. Governed by rent control statutes established in the mid- 1900’s, tenants, or, sometimes, their lawful successor, are entitled to remain in occupancy of their rented property at regulated rates which are generally lower than stabilized rents. Once the rental space is vacated, it is no longer subject to such regulation.
Rent control laws are limited to units in residential buildings in which the tenant or the tenant’s lawful predecessor has lived continuously since before July 1, 1971 or tenants in one or two family houses since April 1, 1953.
