NYCHA

I have a NYCHA Section 8 Tenant. Just so everyone one is aware, there are other types of Section 8 tenants. So, she is under market but a pretty good tenant nonetheless. The NYCHA customer service reps are incompetent. I called like five times to ask them questions about extending the tenancy or terminating it. I got inconsistent answers. So, when I decided to move forward and extend, I found out that I had to give 60 days notice either way. I do get the right to raise the rent a whopping one percent! I laughed when the rep told me I would not get the raise till two months into the new tenancy because I did not inform them in a timely manner. New York City has a serious problem. There is no way to keep subsidized tenants in apartments that don’t keep up with skyrocketing rents. And I should note that the portion that NYCHA pays has stayed flat or declined.
