Can I refuse to pay rent if the landlord fails to repair something in my apartment?

Off Campus Housing
No, the tenant must continue to pay rent until the end of the tenancy. If something needs repair in your apartment, you should request the repair in writing and, if not satisfied, file an Application to the Director requesting settlement. Note: If a tenant in a yearly or monthly tenancy is 30 days in arrears of any part of the rent, the landlord may give a 15-day notice to quit. If a weekly tenant is seven days in arrears, the landlord may give a seven-day notice to quit.

How much can the landlord raise my stabilized apartment rent?

NYC Rent Guidelines Board
The owner of a rent stabilized building is required to send you a lease renewal between 90 and 150 days before your existing lease expires. You then have 60 days to accept the lease renewal offer. If you wait longer than 60 days the landlord can refuse to renew your lease and could move to evict you after the lease expires.

The full rental amount is due and payable on the date stated on the lease. If you fail to pay that amount, the landlord may issue a "pay or quit" notice that requires you to pay the full amount by a given date. The landlord is not obligated to accept partial payments. The landlord cannot remove your property or take other action against you to remove you, but must rely on an eviction notice from the courts to take possession of the property.

apartments, apartment, New York City, New York, Manhattan, n...
No! By law landlords are not allowed to charge a commission. Only a licensed real estate broker may charge a commission. It varies from landlord to landlord and depends upon how many other applications have been received. It also depends upon whether or not the apartment is available for immediate occupancy. If it is, the landlord will want to fill the vacancy quickly. If there is time, the landlord might wait to assess ongoing receipt of applications. See similar questions...

If the tenant fails to pay rent, can I report the uncollected rent in Part 4.3(2) of the Return?

Property Tax Returns
You can claim deduction only when the rent has become irrecoverable. If the tenant defers the payment of the monthly rent and has not moved out, the uncollected rent would unlikely be treated as irrecoverable rent. For the year it becomes irrecoverable, you should state the annual rental income, without deducting the irrecoverable rent in Part 4.2 of the Return. The amount of irrecoverable rent can be stated in Part 4.3(2). See similar questions...
