Section 8 Rules


Hello Brownstoners,

Is it illegal to NOT rent to section 8 vouchers holders if you own a 4 family building?

Thx

Bad Smell from Tenant


I’m getting complaints from other tenants in the building that a really bad smell is coming from a particular apartment… How do I tell that tenant (in a nice way) that they need to do something about it? I really don’t care what they do in their apartment but when it affects the other tenants then it’s another story.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Renting in Bedstuy


Hi,
I have a very nice 2 bedroom Apt with a back yard, dishwasher and washer/dryer in Bedstuy… about two blocks from Bedford Ave. I’m planning on renting it out and wasn’t too sure how much I can get especially with the way the market is now, how much do you guys think I can get?

Thanks!

Security Deposit increase or not?


Hi,

This is my first time renting out an apartment and I wanted to know when you raise the rent do you also ask tenant to pay difference in security deposit to reflect rental increase?

Thanks!
