Frequently Asked Questions
Is my NYC apartment rent-stabilized?
Generally, buildings with 6+ units built before 1974 are rent-stabilized. Some newer buildings with tax benefits also qualify. Leasense can identify stabilization status based on building details and DHCR records.
When is the DHCR registration deadline?
April 1 annually. Leasense sends automated reminders starting 60 days before the deadline and helps you compile all required registration information.
How much can I increase rent for stabilized units?
The Rent Guidelines Board sets annual increases (0-5% typically for 1-2 year leases). Leasense automatically applies current RGB rates and prevents non-compliant increases.
What is preferential rent?
When you charge below the legal regulated rent. Under HSTPA, you must continue offering preferential rent at renewals - you cannot raise to legal regulated rent. Leasense tracks both amounts.
