I've been in discussions with my landlord (management company really) over missing a filing with a city agency to maintain my rent stabilized apartment.
I was served with notice that I had to file a PARS to appeal within 25 days. I was in the hospital (in December) and I didn't get the letter. It was returned to the city agency, unknown to me.
Since then, my lawyer has been trying to negotiate with the management for me as their stand is to raies my rent to market value because I didn't file. I've been here since college so my rent is less than a third of what others are paying for this size apartment. Yes, I have a great deal but the agency is supposed to notify me when/if a PARS could be needed.
Lovely. The Notice of Termination is signed by the manager who told me last week that there was no problem, not to worry.
sh!!t
