I have a rent stabilized apartment in NYC's lowers east side. This apartment has been in my family for about 35 years. It is registered under my Mother's name. I have been on 2 renewal leases since I turned 18yrs old. When my Mother renewed our current lease I couldn't sign it because I was away at Grad school. When I called the landlord's office the building manager said it shouldn't be a problem because I have been on 2 previous leases. Two weeks ago we recieved a NOTICE TO CURE from the landlord's lawyer. The letter stated that my mother was ilegally subleasing the apartment to me and my sister. He claims that my mother is currently leasing another apartment in another boro. I mailed the lawyer and the landlord a certified letter stating that his records are in correct. Neither of us have every lived at another apartment nor do we hold a lease for any other place. The NOTICE TO CURE also said that if we did not move out by 10/31/00, eviction proceedings would begin immediately. In addition, my rent check was returned to me. What do I do now?
