| I really appreciate this information. Like you, I consider my rent-stabilized apartment a great asset. That said, I can't find a lot of the information you include here anywhere in the Tenants Right Guide, or elsewhere. Where, for example, did you find the information about "apartment swapping" being illegal? I guess I don't understand the difference between that, and what you describe as renting "to people I know who are looking for a chance to have a New York apartment for a few months," unless you mean swapping with someone you don't know. That's what I don't understand. Is swapping with someone you know legal, and swapping with someone you don't know illegal? And are you saying it's legal to rent to someone you know, but illegal to swap with someone you know? I'm confused. Thanks for the tip about adding a clause to reclaim the apartment. Very helpful. |
