Rent Stabilization Act imposes 10 percent ceiling with refunds
The act requires landlords who raised rents over 10 percent since July 1 1975 to refund the difference within 60 days of the act’s effective date. Exemptions include new structures after Jan 1 1976, existing controlled housing, co op buildings, hotels and short term tenancies. Landlords may abate rents or issue cash or cheques to former tenants. Three months' notice remains required for increases. Rent review officers can deny excessive increases and subpoena witnesses.
