Re: Housing Laws
It would mean that an apartment is not subject to rent-stabilization or rent-control regulations. OF course, just because someone tells you that an apartment is a free-market rental doesn't necesarily mean that that'st he case. Generally speaking, a legal sub-tenant has the rights granted in the sub-lease subject to the terms of the primary lease that the tenant has with the landlord.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
