Comment on New York's Rent Regulation Fightparent

Comments

What do you mean? Do you mean the coops that have a max income? Because those obviously don't count, they can't rent out a studio for $2k when the resident isn't allowed to make more than 75k. Or do you mean applications that make you sign away your first born and tell them your deepest darkest secrets? Because everyone I know has had to do that, it's just part of the process, mainly because of how hard it is to evict someone in NYC, and doesn't mean you get cheaper rent.

I mean that some coöp applications do have you sign away your first born and tell them your deepest darkest secrets and that there are still enough people who haven't gone through that process at one point or another that the market rent for those units is slightly lower than it would be otherwise. Of course, I only have anecdata support my claim.
