Use Revised DHCR Forms for Vacancy and Renewal Leases

By Eileen O'Toole, Esq.

To implement the January 2014 amendments to the Rent Stabilization Code, the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) has issued revised versions of its rent-stabilized Renewal Lease Form, as well as the New York City Lease Rider for Rent-Stabilized Tenants and the High Rent Vacancy Deregulation Notice. The new Lease Rider must be added to both vacancy and renewal leases.
