Having determined that tenants are “non-purchasing tenants,” we turn to the question whether the lease renewal offered them contained an unconscionable rent. As noted, the Martin Act provides that a nonpurchasing tenant may not be subjected “to unconscionable increases beyond ordinary rentals for comparable apartments during the period of their occupancy. In determining comparability, consideration shall be given to such factors as building services, level of maintenance and operating expenses” (General Business Law § 352-eeee [2] [c] [iv]).
