I quess the new owners reward will be in Hell!

#1 - hmm, moving into a property you own will put you in hell?

really?....really? ....take more than 1 second to think about your idiotic comment

Suarez is getting terrible legal advice. The grandstanding of the free "legal clinic" is going to bankrupt the tenant when he loses. Like it or not, the law is the law and if the owners want to move in, they can.

So much for "free advice"

#1, if you owned a building that cost you a nice chunk of change to maintain and pay taxes on every year, and you had a tenant paying 400 dollars a month that wouldn't even cover your expenses for that part of the property, what would you do? I am sure you'd love to join them in hell, but you can't. So keep your envy to yourself. Cheers...

You really want us to feel sorry for someone who has been paying $400 or less in rent for what must be decades? You won't get any pity from me.

What if that's all they can afford?

Does this landlord need the property so badly for themselves that they are willing to potentially ruin the lives of four families?

$400 Per Month in 2008

Thats a total joke.

No one should be given a free ride.

Thats the law and it is legal. Dont cry since it didnt work in their favor. How about all the others that pay below market rents? These tenants force the market rate units HIGHER since there is less supply of them. How about the Professional tenants that just refuse to pay rent and welcome landlords taking them to court for nonpayment.

This is the start of a market that will repay the greedy for who they are.

there are rental deals in the market....I am one of the lucky one.

people who cannot afford market rents like every other city in the world will move to areas that they can afford. this is excellent news for owners who want to live closer to their high paying jobs and can afford mortgage on these expensive buildings. i think it is the best thing in the world to let the market prevail. if you are on a fixed income MOVE; if you cannot afford the rent move to an area where you can and free up apartments for those who can afford it. every other major city in the world lets the market prevail and allows the market to price rents and values.

"every other major city in the world lets the market prevail" - which cities have you visited? Most European cities have some rent stabilization, and decidedly not pure "market prevail" housing policies.
