Re: rent stabilized tenant working from apartment

The answer to your question may vary depending on wether or not you had a lease and the terms of such. However, standard RESIDENTIAL leases are for residential use only. If your tenant is using the apartment for non-residential commercial purposes such as a yoga gym, she is in breach of her contract.

Feel free to contact my office for a free consultation as to how to proceed from here.
