The fairness? Moreover where is the justice in the system for both halfs? I'm talking about democracy on this subject? How can a landlord maintain a building when tenants are paying $300 rent? How can a tenant pay increase in rent if landlord does not render proper services in an adequate manner? It goes deep but first we have to change are abusive ways in both landlord and tenant practices then after that we need to restructure the entire housing system including<br />DHCR because it is inept in the way it handles cases creating many errors time after time thus creating unnecessary headaches and confusion to say the least.I see that the more government tries to evade certain topics like DHCR the more the system is set out to allow corruption to flourish within the system, abuse on both parts and a system set for failure because workers don't really care for either counterpart, their concern is 8 hours for the day and nothing more.Read this closely then state your position, don't follow the general public because ignorance is universal and does not discriminate to a group,color,<br />race, or if your a landlord or tenant. <br />Steven from Ridgewood,Queens, NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
