remember an older person can adopt or marry anyone and that person will get succession rights.
Buying a house with a rent control tenant is the easiest way to ruin your life. This house already has an owner, and it’s the tenant.
In NYC, a rent control tenant has more ownership rights than the actual owner. Odd but true. Nowhere else in the world, except perhaps Cuba, can one find this type of scenario.
Not only do they own the house, but they will own you.
Never never never, -And to take on this heartache for over a million dollars! It is beyond all reason.
Don’t you think the person who owns the house might have thought about buying out the rc tenant before they put it on the market? I’m sure they did and its not going to happen for you. By the way, A 4 family without RC sold one block over, carroll bwtn henry and hicks, in Fall 2006, for 1.345.
Nice staging, Dave. I’m always curious who manufactures these Pottery Barn knock-offs at 2/3 the size to make the apartment look bigger. Has anyone ever sat in a dining room chair used in staging? Or tried to fit four place settings at the table?
got to love those personal attacks as you hide behind the anonymous post.
Well, credit where credit’s due, Dave; at least you have the balls not to camoflage your spamming as so often happens in this section of Brownstoner. Sometimes, in this arena of subterfuge, blatency has a certain retro appeal.
$399K for a “starter” apartment?!
you make me sick.

I’ve actually heard of RC tenants agreeing to a buyout for less than the money you’re talking about, Scarab. $100,000 to 200,000 cash is worth offering. That kind of money is very appealing to a lot of people. Especially if they are already thinking of relocating outside the city, or they are near or past retirement age. Just because they are RC doesn’t mean they’re poor. Even rich people used to mostly rent, in previous decades. That money added to what they’ve already saved for retirement, they’re doing good.
