The Problem

Most Small Landlords Don't Know They're Exposed

In today's anti-landlord environment, an opportunistic tenant can find loopholes in your rent stabilized registration to avoid paying rent — or worse, sue you for overcharges you didn't know existed.

NYC's DHCR database is public. Tenants and their attorneys are actively searching it for gaps, misfilings, and overcharge opportunities. If your registration history has errors — even unintentional ones — you could be liable for treble damages going back years. The best offense is a good defense.
