“A neighbor told me that she believes the landlord illegally raised the rent and submitted bogus forms to whatever agency is in charge of the whole rent-stabilization process, claiming that work done by the last tenant was done by a contractor. I have no idea what any of this means, and I do not really care…. Also, I am in college and my parents are paying my rent, so do I have to tell them? Obviously, I am looking to do nothing in this matter. Is that cool?”
Jesus Christ, kids. (Also, you know, rent stabilization laws aren’t that complicated, and if you’re too lazy or stupid to read up on things on NYC.GOV, you actually don’t deserve to live here.)
