My landlord just emailed us for the 10000000th time about some recycling violations (not us, we break down our boxes etc) and said they will pass on the violation fee to all of the tenants. I’m trying to find something written indicating this is illegal - it is, right? help me school this fucking ghoul, plz. thanks!

edit: I found this but it’s from 2017 and not sure if it’s only referring to NY - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/17/realestate/landlord-bill-tenants-for-city-fines.html

thank you for taking the time to post all those resources :'-( i really appreciate it. I moved within my city but to an area I’m not super familiar with so I’ll look into any kind of tenant organization/board up here in my new neighborhood… given that this isn’t the first shady thing this landlord has done (I’ve lived here for only two months) it seems like becoming a member of the tenantstogether org. might be a good idea, ugh.

Thank you again!!
