Are condominiums covered by the Rent Control Law?
It depends. Condominium units may or may not be covered by rent control depending on a variety of factors such as: • whether they were built as condominiums or converted from apartments; • if converted, whether the unit has been separately sold to an actual purchaser; • if built as condominiums, the date their construction was completed; • in some cases, when the first unit was sold is important; and • whether the current tenants first rented before or after January 1, 1996. Because the facts differ for each condominium, it is best to call the Rent Control Board to determine the facts for a particular address.
