Defendants denied the allegations and asserted various affirmative defenses including that they had refunded to plaintiff, any overcharge. Defendants also moved for summary judgment. Defendants argued that the four-year lookback period applied unless plaintiff could prove fraud, which she could not. Defendants claimed they had treated plaintiff as a deregulated tenant based on the representations of prior management, and when they realized their error they offered to reimburse her, and began treating her as a rent-stabilized tenant. Defendants asserted that a rent freeze based solely on the failure to register was unjustified, and that the cases holding otherwise involved clear examples of fraud.
