I am currently living in a 1 bedroom rent stabilized apartment & have section 8. My old lease for the amount of $1,425.60 expired in 2014. So me & my landlord toke a renewed lease, in the amount of 1,536.60 both signed it, & gave it for review to section 8. In order for section 8 to review it, it has to be signed. But, section 8 did not approve it because the amount was too high than what they would approve for a 1 bedroom. They notified him about this with a letter & stated that ither u leave the rent as is for another 1 or 2 years or lower it to 1,409.00. I countinued to pay my portion of the rent every month. Landlord did not comply with what section stated & waited almost 2 yrs to take me court. Now we are in court for dwelling non payment for that amount that was not approved by Nycha section 8. His attorney is staying that i am responsible. We have anothet court date set for trial on march 17th & a final decision will be made. I do not know what to do. They are putting almost $2,500 on my shoulders when section 8 is specifically saying it was not approved & void. Now my landlord is saying i am no longer going to give u the apartment under section 8. Ither u sign another lease without preferential rent or vacate & find another apartment. What do i do???? I have a child on my shoulders. Where is the truth.
