You have a right to ask the owner for a six month lease at any time after registering in the hotel, and the
owner must provide you with a lease within 15 days after such request. Your request to become a permanent
tenant automatically gives you the right to remain in occupancy as a permanent tenant and gives you the protection
and benefits of rent stabilization.

As a permanent tenant, an owner may not charge you more than the most recent rent charged the prior
permanent tenant, plus any lawful guidelines increase in effect at the time of your renting, as set for your hotel
room/apartment by the NYC Rent Guidelines Board. Such rent is required to be registered with the DHCR. You
may obtain this information by writing to the DHCR, Gertz Plaza Office, listed in the Appendix, provided you
submit proof of residence in the hotel room/apartment. Hotel tenants may receive annual rent increases which are
authorized by the Rent Guidelines Board, and the owner may apply for other increases, for building-wide or
apartment improvements, or where an owner is not receiving a fair return on his or her investment after expenses
