Hi — I am about to start subletting a rent-stabilized one bedroom apartment in Park Slope. When the sublet is over, in two months, I would like to take the lease over. My question: Is there any way to get around the 20% vacancy lease increase? Is the situation different because I will have been living there already? I know I can try to have the lease assigned to me, but it seems like the landlord can reject that request? Do I have any rights as a subletter? Thanks for the help!
