🚨 ASTERI RESIDENTS: DO NOT accept a "Cash for Keys" offer from Vecino without talking to a lawyer!

Vecino is requesting residents take a 2k "cash for keys" offer which is full of loopholes!

§ 258-13 of city code says “The landlord is responsible to every displaced tenant for an amount of liquidated damages which amount to double the monthly rent, prorated for every day of displacement, including the day the tenant vacates, until the expiration date of the tenant's lease term or until all deficiencies have been corrected-.”

They are pushing this predatory deal because they owe residents far more and are trying to nullify their responsibilities. Our neighbors deserve what they are owed!
