A great find!!!

This book is amazing! When I first started renting in NYC I was really intimidated and let landlords walk all over me but this book has helped me to do a 360. Now that I know what my rights are, I don't hesitate to confront my landlord about things like repairs. A couple of months ago I even used this book as a guide to subletting my place. I thought that that was going to be a huge ordeal but this book made it so easy! So if you're a NY renter, do yourself a favor and buy this book! Don't let the greedy landlords take advantage of you anymore!

Highly recommended!

I moved to New York City a year ago, but didn't have this book. How I wish I did...This city is a lot of fun, but is also demanding in many ways. Understanding your rights as a tenant is one of those "know it or suffer the consequences" issues every NYC renter faces.I found this book to be a great resource, even with the recent modifications in state and city laws. It is well laid out and explains the sometimes dry issues of tenants' rights in a very readable manner. Unlike several of the other tenants' rights books out there, this book had a well constructed index that brought me straight to the answers I was seeking.Be proactive, buy this book!
