Bianca Jagger: Homeless

$4600 a month is rent stabilized?

A New York appeals court ruled on Thursday that a landlord can evict Bianca Jagger from her Park Avenue apartment because of her immigration status.The former wife of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger has lived in the rent-stabilized apartment for some 20 years and argued that it was her primary residence and her landlord should be barred from evicting her.
A British citizen who was born in Nicaragua, Jagger is in the United States on a B-2 tourist visa. Her lawyer, Ryan Goldstein, had argued that a mold problem in the apartment had made it unlivable and that she had stopped paying the $4,614 a month rent in 2003. The landlord is nor free to rent the apartment out at "market value"...I can only imagine what that is.
