Owner is non responsive to tenants with SCRIE which is to help seniors
Former Tenant
Pros:
Lawyer did help communicate with them, but once the lawyer finished their communication, the building owners went back to Miss handling the lease
Cons:
SCRIE is designed helps eligible senior citizens and because they want market rate, for every apartment, they do everything in their power to not adhere to the rules
