Q: Is there any law prohibiting electronic payment of rent by Rent Stabilized tenants?
My landlord refuses to allow me to use their ClickPay system to make my Rent Stabilized payments although this method is used by their Market Rate tenants. I was told by their representative that they were prohibited from allowing this by law. I found that they are not allowed to REQUIRE tenants to pay electronically, but nothing prohibiting it.
Conversely, are they allowed to refuse me this payment method, which I have requested?
A: A landlord-tenant attorney would have insight into this, but your question remains open for a week. Some questions do go unanswered, but you could try reposting under "Landlord-Tenant" for better chances of a L-T attorney picking up your question. Good luck
