Seriously Coumo get past it Hilliary isn't President, you couldn't fix the election now you're investigating land lord tenant issues. Is this the best way to spend taxpayer monies? https://www.huffingtonpost.com...4745e4b0fd5c73be2d54 | ||

They will never stop. This is all about keeping the Trump name in the news in a negative light. | |||

This is just another way the Democrats are trying to attack anything or anyone they see as aligned with Trump. A childish political temper tantrum by the leftists. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

More of the "throw it at the wall and see if it will stick" agenda to trying to continually paint this president in a negative way. Something tells me that outside of the loony liberal left, this isn't going to provide much. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

You're missing the local angle here. Kushner has a no hold barred approach with deal with tenants, and it's pissed a lot of people off. And it doesn't help him that Trump is pretty much hated here, so they'll take any opportunity to give Kushner crap. | |||

Hmmm... Tenants don't like their landlord. Shocking. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

It's more than that. He buys rent regulated buildings, then tries to force the regulated tenants out, usually through various forms of harassment (unnecessary, and unnecessarily dirty, noisy construction, filing eviction cases for unwarranted reasons, etc.). Now say what you want about rent regulation (I don't particularly care for the concept), but what he does is illegal (as civil law, I don't know if it has criminal implications.) So it gives the local politicritters, who suck up to the hordes of regulated renters in NYC, cause to go after him.

So what's the issue? You are talking about the places where people are paying 100 bucks a month, right? Instead of $3,000? If he buys it, what's the problem? | |||

Rent regulated buildings make the renter have control over the landlord, an old NYC socialism start. Yes you can work hard and buy property to hopefully make a profit but the guy living well below market in your building, you can’t increase his rent or move him out unless facing the wrath of the nanny state. | |||

So Kushner is mean to people who are under-market price "free" loaders, who enjoy legal protections. Gee, that's terrible. God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
State sponsered legal terrorism, nothing more, nothing less. I'm sure he is not the only one doing things like this, but he dam sure is the only one who's father in law is President Trump. | |||

In New York City, rent control is based on the Maximum Base Rent system. A maximum allowable rent is established for each unit, and every two years, the landlord may increase the rent up to 7.5% (as of 2012) until the Maximum Base Rent is reached. However, the tenant may challenge these increases on grounds that the building has violations or the owner does not need to increase the rent that much to cover expenses. Maximum Base Rent In New York City, the maximum base rent (MBR) is calculated to ensure the rent from rent control units covers the cost of building maintenance and improvements. As set up in the New York City Local Law 30 of 1970, the formula reflects real estate taxes, water and sewer charges, operating and maintenance expenses, return on capital value and vacancy and collection loss allowance. The MBR is updated every two years to reflect changes in these expenses. The owner must apply for the maximum base rent system for the tenants, but before the MBR, rents were annually determined by the city/state, which developed its own set of regulations. ______________________________________________ Life is short.

There are two systems, Rent Control and Rent Stabilization. Rent Control is the older one, and there are very few units under it. That's the one you're describing. Rent Stabilization is the main program still in force. It covers close to a million units. But it works differently than what you're talking about. It has a regulated level of rent increases from the existing rent.

Terrible or not, it is illegal. That's going to be a major liability for someone who's a major advisor to the POTUS.

Malicious prosecution is also illegal, but how often is that prosecuted? God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

Correct, From the passage of the Rent Regulation Reform Act of 1997 to the Rent Act of 2011, rent stabilization was restricted to apartments where the legal, or stabilized, rent was under $2,000 per month. The 2011 law raised that to $2,500. The unit could be deregulated once the rent went above $2,000 under the 1997 law, $2,500 under the 2011 Act, and is either vacant or the household adjusted gross income was over $175,000 under the 1997 act or is $200,000 under the 2011 law, for two consecutive years. If the stabilized rent is under $2,500, the residents' income does not affect the rent stabilized status of the apartment. A tenant has to use the stabilized apartment as their primary residence in order for the apartment to remain under rent stabilization.
