Under local law, the landlord is required to provide you with a notice of deregulation, including the amount of the last regulated rent and a copy of rent registration filed with the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal. If you did not receive such a notice, contact the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal at (718) 739-6400. You may want to request a rent history from the DHCR to determine if the current rent is lawful.
