By definition, a three-day notice or rent demand which demands payment of charges whose collection is prohibited by rent stabilization or rent control regulations does not state a "good faith sum” of rent claimed. It is deceptive and misleading both as to the amount the tenant must pay to avoid eviction, and as to tenant’s obligation to pay petitioner’s attorney’s fees and costs prior to the commencement of the legal proceeding, regardless of the judicial determination of the claim.
