Rent Overcharge Proceedings


Rent overcharge proceedings are brought in front of the DHCR and are initiated by a tenant claiming that his/her landlord is charging him/her more than the legal regulated rent. If the DHCR finds for the tenant, the landlord will be forced to pay the tenants back plus interest. Additionally, if the DHCR determines that such overcharges were willful, the landlord could be liable to the tenant for triple the amount of actual overcharges.

James G. Dibbini & Associates, P.C. can help you with your DHCR proceeding by responding to the complaint and working with the DHCR to get the matter resolved. Additionally, we can help you determine the legal regulated rent you are permitted to charge; proper ways to increase the legal rent; and avoid future rent overcharge complaints. Call us today at (914) 965-1011 for assistant.
