The state has ruled that Harlem landlord Emo Realty owes one of its tenants $14,500 after overcharging her for years, by telling her to pay more than her apartment's legal rent. In 2008, Emo registered the apartment at $1,900 while charging a lower "preferential rent." But meanwhile, the actual legal rent was $1,448. In 2013, the legal rent was $1,600—Emo registered it at $2,600. [DNAinfo; previously]
