<prompt> Human: As the title says Im looking to move in with my partner. She lives in a rent controlled unit in NYC. I will not be moving in as a tenant and will just be an occupant. If our understanding is correct, I have no rights to the apartment in the event of anything happening to our relationship or if anything was to happen to her. The realty company is asking for multiple pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns, proof of previous rent payments, and a credit check that I pay for. All of this seems somewhat understandable to me under normal circumstances. However, as I am an occupant and not a tenant, I have no legal rights or obligations to pay rent pertaining to the apartment. Is it normal to want this info? Maybe Im just sensitive about giving my entire financial history out. Maybe Im just paranoid because Ive heard so many horror stories of buildings trying to get rent controlled units kicked out. Maybe Im just dumb. Either way I figured its better to be safe than sorry. Any advice or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Assistant: Id give them whatever they want for a subsidized apartment in NYC.Human: Trust me, Im there with you. My biggest fear is that something will be used to get me or both of us kicked out. They initially said I couldnt move in until my partner directed them to this law which states they cant deny her the right to have an occupant. Theyre also requesting we sign papers just on the highlighted lines. There are papers that are only highlighted on the signature line and were supposed to leave the entirety of it blank?  <response>: No chance Id sign a blank document ever.You need to talk to a tenants rights specialist in NYC since the laws are different.
