Not you

You had a rc unit? Were you bought out? Trust me , my tenants dont need any tips... they handle it just fine 

I had just moved to NYC for my first job, which was part-time, so I was happy to find a small affordable studio apartment.  The landlord told me it wasn't rent-controlled, but that he's a nice guy, and will keep the rent low as if it were.  I was (obviously) from OOT and clueless.

Long story short, after a while he raised the rent exorbitantly, I discovered it was under a rent abatement, I stopped paying rent, he sent eviction order, I countersued for triple damages on the overpayment he had been charging.  About 5-6 months passed before it went before a judge, who tried to convince me I could stay if I wanted, but at that point I had found a place to move to, so agreed to vacate in one month.  So I wasn't "bought out", but I did get about 5-6 months free rent, which was hugely appreciated at the time.

Ah, you were rent stabilized. Not rent controlled. Similar but VERY different.

Yes!  You're right... It was a long time ago.

Are you using Hotmail or any version of Microsoft email? That stopped working about a year ago. No notifications come through. Probably a spam filter issue that DDF has (didn't have time to look into it, just switched it to go to a gmail account).
