Hello,
I currently live in a 1 BR apartment in Manhattan. My lease expires in 6 months but I'm planning to move out to a new apartment. I currently pay 1400 a month but my landlord tells me that for the remaining of the lease, he wants to charge the new tenant 1600. Is that legal? That makes it more difficult for me to find somebody to take over my lease, so I don't know how to handdle this situation.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
