Landlord Jacking the Rent and Other Big Issues

Over on the Forum today, one poster is wondering if her landlord is allowed to jack her rent 15 percent and only give her a few days to decide whether she’s in or out. Uncool? Yes. Illegal? Dunno…In happier news, a homeowner is wondering how much to charge a film crew to rent his brownstone. Any thoughts? And if you’re in the market for a jumbo loan, you might want to read up on this post asking about Fannie Mae’s plans to lower the cut-off points. Oh, and this guy needs a contractor to regrout a small bathroom in Fort Greene.
