I'm asking here instead of Reddit because I figure that you guys are more "authentic".
When my mother passes away (which will hopefully not be for a while), what kind of rights do I have to inherit her apartment at the same rent-controlled price?
Her rent is not frozen yet, and she thinks that she is not eligible to apply for that because her salary is too high, but she will (hopefully) be retiring sooner, rather than later. She currently has a rent-controlled apartment because she has been there since the 70s.
Additional Info:
-She is 72 years old.
-My name has been the one on the Con Edison bill for the last 2 years, and this location is my official address on my NY State ID.
-It is a 1BR in Queens
Thank you. I know about the official answers, but I was curious if there were any anecdotes or extra loopholes that the people in charge make you jump through.
Also, a quick Google search was confusing because one source was saying that I need to spend at least 31 days in a calendar year in NYC to be considered a Resident, and another said I need to spend at least 184 days in NYC to be considered a Resident. I'm not sure which is correct.
31 days is regarding an additional occupan (you) to transition to legal tenant.
184 days (6 months) is regarding the time span in each year (for 5 years) a green card holder, living abroad, has to spend in the US to satisfy the continuous residency requirement (one of many others) to be able to apply for the US citizenship.

What you're looking for is info about rent control or stabilization succession rights. Try Googling that phrase, maybe it will help/
Honestly you are not entitled to reap the benefits of this massive and unfair price reduction in rent when everyone one else has to pay market value. And not for nothing your mom has been getting a break on the rent for almost a half century how about you pay your fair share now? Why should the landlord keep extending you this gratitude when others probably pay a significant amount more than you?
How about trying to pay your own way like everyone else and not trying to take advantage of the system to screw everyone else?
