Anyone here understand lease jargon?

Signed a lease in Feb & got a great deal in a new rent stabilized apt (not sure how, but somehow stabilized in a newer building).

I’ve looked over my lease recently for something & noticed there’s a rider stating preferential rent is only for the term of the lease & then can be increased to the legal regulated rent. In 2019 I thought the law changed so that all renewals needed to be based off preferential rent & could only be raised with new tenants?

Hi fishes

I got an offer, I tried to negotiate (without any counter offer), they were saying no negotiation.. Still I gave my final request to increase 10%, Now they are taking time, HR is saying it will take 3-5 days for processing new offer.
Is this all looks fine? Or they won't come back itself?

Thanks

Ladies, do you tip when you go for a wax?
Non-American here so I was quite taken by surprise when I went for one today.

Wax was $69 without tip and was out in 20 min.
At the reception they had a sign with “recommended” tips 18%-22% and was asked how much tip I wanted to leave before paying with card.

$14 tip for literally doing your job and 20 min work seems a little excessive… Is that normal here?
