May an owner collect a rent increase from a new/vacancy lease tenant when a DHCR rent reduction order for decrease in services is still in effect?
If the rent reduction order was issued to a rent controlled tenant, a fair market rent set for the incoming rent stabilized tenant can be charged, but no other rent increases can be collected until DHCR issues a rent restoration order. If the rent reduction order was issued to a rent stabilized tenant, a vacancy lease rent increase can be charged to the next rent stabilized tenant, but no other rent increases can be collected until DHCR issues a rent restoration order.
