The document discusses recent changes to rent regulation laws in New York City that favor tenants over landlords. It summarizes that the mayor has appointed more tenant advocates to the rent guidelines board, proposed rent freezes, and implemented 27 amendments strengthening tenant protections. This has landlords concerned about the impact on the real estate market. The document then discusses strategies one property management company, R.E.M. Residential, uses to support landlords by bringing them together to gain negotiating power and address issues collectively.
The document discusses several key topics in real estate agency law including the source of agency law in common and statutory law. It defines different types of agency relationships such as general, special, and universal agency. It also outlines the roles and duties of various parties in a real estate transaction including brokers, agents, principals, and customers. The document also covers topics like types of brokerage business ownership, size of brokerage firms, agency disclosure requirements, creating and terminating agency agreements, and protections under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.

“How can I lower my mortgage?” This is a question that thousands of homeowners are asking as interest rates are increasing, causing mortgage payments to skyrocket. Though many people fear they have no alternatives, there are several pre-foreclosure options. The key is acting in a timely way.
“Lower My Mortgage!” Thousands of homeowners are demanding that our nation’s government respond to their pleas. Yet, Congress has authorized a plan that will have a relatively small impact on the thousands of mortgages and homeowners hoping to avoid foreclosure. One of the primary stumbling blocks is the rigid criteria that make it difficult to access for the majority of homeowners who are in trouble.

1. Rent-stabilized tenants demanding access to
amenities. MCIs taking forever. Mayor Bill
de Blasio’s appointment of more tenant advo-
cates on the Rent Guidelines Board. Proposed
rent freezes. Twenty-seven new amendments
to the Rent Stabilization Code. A stronger
Tenant Protection Unit. What does this por-
tend for the future of New York City’s hither-
to booming real estate market?
Let us take a brief, but eye-opening look at what has transpired in
terms of changes. Under the Division of Housing and Community
Renewal (DHCR), the Tenant Protection Units (TPU) have been
created. They are designed to aggressively investigate purported
landlord violations of rent laws. Renewal leases being protected
is another egregious anti-landlord move. This is a catch-22 for
a management company and for the landlord in that if a tenant
does not sign a lease renewal agreement, the tenant automatically
becomes a month-to-month lessee until an agreement is reached.
One can only imagine the protracted, prolix process.
The apologous expression, “In union there is strength”, may un-
derstandably strike a discordant diapason amongst our industry.
However, the Rent Stabilization Association (RSA), the Commu-
nity Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) and several other
organizations have joined forces in opposing the aforementioned
new regulations, namely the Tenant Protection Act, by suing.
This teamwork, significant as it is, is just the tip of the iceberg
when it comes to effectively and proactively advancing the cause
for the real estate industry, landlords, investors and management
companies alike.
In the real estate industry of NYC, the key to a thriving and lucra-
tive building investment is the management company. Manage-
ment should take the building from its foundation and build up
from that, improve it, take it to a higher level. Management is the
major cog in the wheel. An effective management company does
not merely collect rent and engage in “drive by management,” but
works with its employees and clients to enhance their portfolio.

At R.E.M. Residential, one of our modi operandi is “Together We
Are Stronger,” coined by Rick Elezi, Founder and President. We
have established a tried-and-true method which has worked won-
ders for our clients and has had ripple effects.
The core of our operation is transparency, above all transparency
in how we communicate with our clients and what we bring to
the table when it comes to managing their most important invest-
ment, their buildings.
By setting up routine meetings in our office with clients and in-
troducing them to each other, we have raised the property man-
agement bar. It hearkens back to “in union there is strength.” In
bringing landlords together, we enable them to compare buildings
and budgets; get better rates on insurance policies and supplies
from our vendors; and pool resources by using the same legal rep-
resentatives, for example.
Besides this financial aspect, there is yet another upside of bringing
our clients together. R.E.M.’s clients have bought and sold build-
ings from each other, cutting back on costs and time by skipping
the middleman. Often, tenants have had to relocate once their lease
expires for various reasons, be that convenience of location or cost,
yet want to stay within the auspices of an R.E.M. managed build-
ing. We have relocated tenants between clients’ buildings based on
their needs and what they are looking for. The leasing and applica-
tion process is seamless because of the uniform stringent screening
of applicants implemented through our in-house brokerage firm,
Julianna Realty, helmed by Shpresa Elezi. Our clients are provided
with all paperwork for review before a decision is made.
The New York Association of Realty Managers (NYARM) holds
seminars regularly, as does the RSA, where property managers and
landlords attend to get the latest industry buzz and news. We pass
along the information to our clients and invite them to join us at
these events. R.E.M. is always front and center at these seminars
with consistent attendance as well as at trade shows. Our efforts
were recognized by NYARM at their annual awards gala in Janu-
ary where R.E.M. Residential was awarded the Trailblazing Man-
agement Company of the Year Award.

When old issues with new resources and means to solve them come
up, such as heat timers and compliance/violation services, we for-
ward all relevant information to our clients and cc them collective-
ly so as to facilitate communication and brainstorming. This has
helped us and our clients when we invite a specialist in said field to
our offices. Not only do we get information on how to tackle an
issue, but we are again able to get better rates for our clients when
they are presented as a likeminded and goal-oriented group.
We take a similar approach when it comes to our superintendents
as well. If a superintendent is not able to do a plumbing job, for
example, or if there is an emergency, we check with our other su-
perintendents if they can do the job. This saves us a lot of money
by not having to call an outside company, which would charge
much higher fees.
By establishing a presence in an area, in a neighborhood, especially
an up-and-coming one, yet again the bar is raised. One building
has the ability to make or break an entire block and when a building
draws free-market tenants willing to pay top dollar, it has a ripple ef-
fect on neighboring buildings. That is when you begin to see the ap-
pearance of cafes, restaurants, boutiques and the like, and these are
factors which will increase the value and allure of a neighborhood.
Our portfolio with our client, Rockledge Properties, has been a
driving force in revitalizing Sugar Hill and Hamilton Heights in
Harlem. In so doing, it helps other landlords by increasing de-
mand for apartments in the area and drawing more interest in
commercial prospects.
Things are already tough for any landlord nowadays what with all
the new regulations and amendments being passed so it is of the
utmost importance that all landlords, regardless of the size and
scope of their buildings, get the same diligence and attention from
our property managers.
While organizations such as RSA and CHIP represent landlords
and do an outstanding job at it, the responsibility to help a land-
lord falls on management. By continually coming up with and
proposing ideas to help clients towards a common goal, we can
mitigate the struggles landlords are now facing. It may not be easy
but trailblazers can certainly make it possible.
About R.E.M. Residential
R.E.M. Residential is one of New York’s preeminent real estate man-
agement companies with a focus on managing rental buildings for

of our reputation: accountability, integrity and a dedication to an
“old school” work ethic that commits us to delivering on every client
obligation in a professional and timely fashion.
Accountability is a term that is all too often overlooked by our compet-
itors in the industry. Our firm belief in accountability, however, goes
beyond the management of your asset, where our commitment and
care adapts your property as our own.
An undertaking accomplished through a consistent performance of
synergistically tailoring and implementing improvement strategies to

match our attentiveness or the level of experience we bring to the table.
Our belief is that it is our responsibility to do everything we can to
provide an unparalleled service of not only maintaining, but most im-
portantly enhancing your investment’s value.
Our expertise in increasing rent rolls and tremendously lowering ex-
penses is evident in every property that we manage. An approach that
has, amongst others, delivered a large Gramercy Park group of build-
ings we have managed for a number of years, with an astonishing
increase in their rent roll of 400% over the last 15 years.
