Questioning Landlord's Claims on Rent Control Legality

Posted by itsyourjamie2 • October 24, 2025 • 6 comments

Considering a basement apartment where the landlord states it's not rent-controlled. Before moving in, I want to verify this claim. How can I check city databases for actual building age or rent control status? Are there specific documents I should request from the landlord to clarify the situation?
