Lost My Apartment - Selling Everything Cheap - $25 (East Village)
Date: 2010-11-04, 3:56PM EDT
Landlord destabilized my apartment and I could no longer afford it. What to get rid of stuff that I'll never use: dresser, wicker parson's chair, ornamental hanging globes, lamp. Everything is stored in a facility on 10th Street at Avenue D. Elevator and dollies available. Would like things gone by the weekend.

Everything must go
Blue Glass sent along this rather sad Craigslist ad...

Grieve why don't you have that whole story yet? A landlord can't just "destabilize" an apartment if the tenant has a legitimate lease. Inquiring minds want to know.
ReplyDeletethe ways to go to market are:
ReplyDeleteto have lots of capital improvements in order to push the rent over $2,000 or to have it go to $2,000 with yearly increases, or for the tenant to earn over $150,000 a year.
(too bad the rent does not go down when the tenant loses their job)
or to have under 6 units in the building.
or to lie.
Quite right, except I think a tenant has to earn over $200,00 for two years for the apartment to become free of controls...
ReplyDeletei think they reduced the tenant salary from $200,000 to $150,000 to push more apartments out of control.
ReplyDeletei'm not sure about the two years either. but it's not so hard for a creative landlord to get more money.
