A proposito di questo titolo

 If things aren’t going right with your apartment, whether it’s something small or something big, it can throw you off in your career, your personal life, and your health, especially if you are a creative. You want your energy going into your art, your business, your family, and the causes and people you care about, not into grappling with housing issues. New York City tenants have more rights than tenants anywhere else in America. But NYC tenants also are shockingly uneducated about what those rights are. A right that you don’t know you have is the same as no right at all. And there are so many bits of incomplete information out there, peppered with urban myths about landlord-tenant law. This podcast will change all that. In each episode we look at current legal cases and statutes and the real-life apartment stories they give rise to here in the greatest city on earth. And every episode ends with a “Tenant Takeaway”, so you have actionable information to help you make better choices. The law belongs to you, NYC. But your ownership of the law is only as great as your understanding of the law. So, let’s learn, to live better! This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It is not legal advice, nor is it a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney. The views expressed are the speaker’s alone and may not reflect those of any organization or employer. Laws evolve, and outcomes depend on specific facts. Listening to this podcast does not create an attorney–client relationship. If you have a legal question, you should seek individualized counsel.Michelle Itkowitz Arte Economia Intrattenimento e arti dello spettacolo

    Episode 3: Can your landlord charge you an extra fee each month because you pay your rent electronically?
    Dec 24 2025
    Can your landlord up-charge you for paying rent electronically? Those charges sure add up over time. For that matter, can the landlord charge you an extra fee for paying manually – with a check, cash, or money order? If you don’t pay electronically, how can you document that you’ve paid? Do you have a right to a receipt? What type of receipt? And how soon after you pay manually must the landlord give you the receipt? What if you are a subtenant, do the answers change? What if you are Rent Stabilized, do the answers change? These are the questions we are tackling in this Episode 3 of Learn to Live Better, a Housing Law Podcast.
