In Mohammed Aijaz v. Hillside Place, LLC (37 AD3d 501, 502, 830 N.Y.S.2d 283 [2d Dept 2007]), the court found that when "renewal leases were entered into, and expired, well before the Legislature amended the RSL . . . it is clear that the amendment, which the Legislature indicated was to take effect immediately' (L. 2003, ch 82, 13), applies prospectively, that is, to renewal leases that were entered into after its date of enactment." Respondent's lease and rider were entered into and expired before the 2003 amendment entered into force. Accordingly, the 2003 amendment, which allows a landlord to discontinue a tenant's preferential rent in leases executed after the enactment of the amendment, does not apply to respondent's lease, which predates the 2003 amendment.
