Tenants Rights Upheld In Court

Last week, a Manhattan judge ruled that an amendment to New York City's Human Rights Law obligates landlords to accept section 8 housing and other federal subsidies for units that are already rent stabilized and for those tenants who moved in after the law was already enacted. The case was brought on behalf of a group of tenants whose landlords refused to accept their payments when they tried to use Government vouchers to pay their rent.

  1. Landlords can make their property deal more attractive by offering a better rent for a good location. Check out for your competitor's adverts and his rent costs, make your rent competitive, given the size and quality of accommodation and its location. Have your 'to let boards' prominently placed. Reaching out to a letting agent will help you find a tenant who is a potential candidate and also helps you get your potential tenant in less time. Tenant background check and tenant screening are the two things carried out professionally and vets out a good tenant for you. A landlord saves himself from the trouble of carrying out the reference checks himself. He saves himself all the hassles and avoid any kind of headaches.
