Faye Dunaway gives up rent-controlled NYC apartmentIt sounds like Faye Dunaway's former NYC digs are now back on the market. The New York Times reports that she’s just been forced to give up her $1,048-a-month Upper East Side apartment. But, the rent-stabilized one-bedroom is not her only home. That's exactly why her former landlord, Henry Moses, sued in August. Moses argued that Dunaway, 70, had no right to the cheap NYC abode because her car is registered to her California home, where she is also registered to vote. (Rent regulation requires the tenant use the rent-controlled apartment as a primary residence.)
For those not familiar with Manhattan real estate, just over $1,000-a-month is incredibly cheap, even for a one-bedroom. And no wonder – Dunaway has rented the apartment since 1994. In August, a lawyer for Dunaway said the actress would fight to keep the place, because “New York is her home,” but it seems that’s no longer the case. Earlier this month, a lawyer gave notice that the actress was moving out. According to her Twitter feed, Faye flew back to Los Angeles on November 15. Though the apartment recently housed a famous resident, the landlord’s lawyer, Craig S. Charie, said that fact won’t be a draw for young renters. “The moniker of her name won’t make it more remarkable for the audience of who is going to rent it,” Mr. Charie said. “If Britney Spears rented it, it would fly off the market.”

1000 usd for a house in NYC is affordable, a real deal foe whovere got the house in the end.
I remember when she lived on the top floor of the Eldorado with Peter Wolf in the 70s.
I live just down the street from Faye's home in West Hollywood. When she had it on the market to rent I gave it a 'once over'. She had done a wonderful redecorating job but the asking rent was way up there and 'perhaps' worth it, but with the amount she wanted one could buy a decent home and the mortage would be about the same as she was asking in rent. Bottom line. Come on back Faye, you were a great neighbor.

Hey SKY, it's "due", not do.
People with that sort of income to throw around probably pay more in taxes than you've made in your miserable socialist whiney a$$ life. Go back to your occupy slum
Saying probably betrays the fact you are a have not, and have no clue just how much income is taxed vs loopholed out of? Accelerated depreciation on my new jet? Yes please. <3
My thought exactly. why is it Hollywood tells us we need to make sacrifices while they do everything to pay as little as possible. Sickening.
Mommy Dearest was the bomb yo.
People that have this sort of a budget to throw around need to pay more taxes!!!! That way it would be a help to lower the debt instead of dipping into medicare and social security
She should move to Florida w/ Mickey Rourke.
