Rent Control Revisited

I recently looked at a four story house that is divided into an owners duplex, one rental with no lease, and one additional rental that is rent controlled. I believe the rent controlled tenant inherited the apartment from his/her mother.

I read the posts on this site following the NYT article on rent control this past October. I'm wondering -- is anyone willing to share stories on rent control buy-outs or evictions? Does that ever happen? If so, how much time and money have owners spent to remove rent controlled tenants?

Thank you all so much. This is very helpful. If others have tips, I'm taking notes. Thanks again, N

Hi All - Not sure if this conversation is still going. But does anyone have a ball park on how much the conversion from oil to gas would cost? Thanks!
