Does a landlord have a right to charge an increase in the amount of rent when the landlord has changed from an unfurnished to furnished apartment?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from Brooks v. 570 Kosciusko Realty Co., 203 Misc. 400 (N.Y. Dist. Ct. 1952):
The landlord claims that since the nature of the apartment was changed from an unfurnished to a furnished apartment, that it had a right to collect an increased rental, and that failure to file a new registration statement does not make the defendant liable for an overcharge, citing the case of Weiderman v. Recklinghausen (303 N.Y. 633, affg. 278 App. Div. 289).
