(i) The landlord seeks in good faith to withdraw a housing
accommodation from the housing rental market, provided that no judgment
in favor of the landlord may be granted pursuant to this paragraph
unless the landlord establishes good faith to withdraw the housing
accommodation from the housing rental market by clear and convincing
evidence; or

(j) The tenant fails to agree to reasonable changes to a lease at
renewal, including increases in rent that are not unreasonable as
defined in paragraph (a) of this subdivision, as long as written notice
of the changes to the lease were provided to the tenant at least thirty
days, but no more than ninety days, prior to the expiration of the
current lease.

2. A tenant required to surrender a housing accommodation by virtue of
the operation of paragraph (g), (h), or (i) of subdivision one of this
section shall have a cause of action in any court of competent
jurisdiction for damages, declaratory, and injunctive relief against a
landlord or purchaser of the premises who makes a fraudulent statement
regarding a proposed use, removal from the rental housing market, or
demolition of the housing accommodation. In any action or proceeding
brought pursuant to this subdivision a prevailing tenant shall be
entitled to recovery of actual damages, and reasonable attorneys' fees.
Except as provided in this subdivision, nothing in this article shall
create a civil claim or cause of action by a tenant against a landlord.
