The plaintiffs in both actions are tenants residing in the defendant landlord’s apartment building. In November, 1979, the landlord applied to the board for the vacancy decontrol of the plaintiffs’ apartments. The board did not give notice of the filing to the then current occupants, the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs in one of the actions became aware of the filing and sought, and obtained, a hearing on the applications concerning them. The plaintiffs in the other action apparently knew nothing of the applications until they received notice of their approval and of the issuance of certificates of vacancy decontrol. These actions were timely entered in the Housing Court.8
