I have a rent stabilized tenant, who’s been there many years, who always never returns the renewal lease. In previous renewals I didn’t push the issue. But this time I have. She has ignored several emails and phone messages. Today I received her October rent check for the amount with the RGB increase but still no lease.
I don’t want to go through the legal hassle with the expense and time involved in that. Especially because there is no penalty to the tenant for breaking the law (incredible isn’t it?). I guess I’ll have to personally knock on her door to get a response from her. So annoying.

Why is it that dealing with the market-rate tenants is usually so much easier? Anyway just had to get this off my chest.
