In the section for Miscellaneous Complaints, the tenant also checked the box indicating “[rjetaliatory action has been directed against me[] by my[] Housing Provider ... for exercising [my] rights in violation of section 502 of the Rental Housing Emergency Act of 1985.” In the comment area for Miscellaneous Complaints, he wrote, “and now [the landlord has] increased my rent from $879 to $1050,” and alleged that the rent increase was in retaliation for the tenant’s complaints about the condition of his apartment and discriminated against him on the basis of his French African race and ethnicity. In the “Additional Space” section, the tenant complained that his rent was “too high,” that it was “improper,” “ridiculous,” and “a hostile judgment.” He reiterated his claim that the rent increase was retaliatory and discriminatory, and that it was simply a means to force his eviction.' Finally, in the “Services and/or Facilities” section, he complained that services had been either “permanently eliminated” or “substantially reduced” because he was without heat for two days in December 2001, his windows were broken, his wall paint was peeling, the radiator was loud, and the bathroom sink was broken.
