With over two decades of legal experience, the New York-based law firm offers free consultations to NYC residents who believe they may be living in a rent-regulated apartment without receiving the benefits.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-ÌÇÐÄVlog/ -- The Law Offices of Michael J.S. Pontone (MJSP), a New York City-based legal practice, has expanded its advocacy and support resources for tenants navigating the city's complex rental landscape. As housing costs rise, the firm continues defending tenants who are seeking rent protections that are rightfully theirs.
Many New York City tenants unknowingly reside in rent-regulated properties without receiving the legal protections to which they are entitled. Most regulated units are in buildings that were constructed before 1974, contain six or more separate residential units, and have not been legally deregulated before 2019.
"There are a lot of factors that dictate a property's legal status, and they may not always be obvious," say Michael J.S. Pontone and Nina Oksman, the partners of MJSP. "Our goal is to use our legal expertise in NYC's rent regulation to empower tenants to secure the stable, fair rent they deserve."
To lower the barrier to legal clarity, The Law Offices of Michael J.S. Pontone provides an initial consultation at no cost to evaluate a tenant's circumstances and discuss possible next steps.
Tenants who suspect they are being overcharged or want to confirm their building's regulatory standing can learn more and connect with MJSP by visiting .
