Rating:  Summary: book description about mold and lead paint is missleading Review: I hope to return this book. The book description said the book talks about mold and lead paint. Technically, it does. Marketing wise, why not add this to the description. As a customer of this book, I did not find more than one page on this subject. Maybe there are two pages. I was hoping for an entire chapter. Am I upset? Yes. Not sure how it got a 4 star rating. I think it is a one star, even when talking about tenants rights.
Rating:  Summary: Highly recommended! Review: I moved to New York City a year ago, but didn't have this book. How I wish I did...This city is a lot of fun, but is also demanding in many ways. Understanding your rights as a tenant is one of those "know it or suffer the consequences" issues every NYC renter faces. I found this book to be a great resource, even with the recent modifications in state and city laws. It is well laid out and explains the sometimes dry issues of tenants' rights in a very readable manner. Unlike several of the other tenants' rights books out there, this book had a well constructed index that brought me straight to the answers I was seeking. Be proactive, buy this book!
Rating:  Summary: A great find!!! Review: This book is amazing! When I first started renting in NYC I was really intimidated and let landlords walk all over me but this book has helped me to do a 360. Now that I know what my rights are, I don't hesitate to confront my landlord about things like repairs. A couple of months ago I even used this book as a guide to subletting my place. I thought that that was going to be a huge ordeal but this book made it so easy! So if you're a NY renter, do yourself a favor and buy this book! Don't let the greedy landlords take advantage of you anymore!
