"Some thirty years ago, Lenore Morse checked into a luxury hotel overlooking Central Park and she hasn't checked out yet. Why should she?
Her elegantly appointed one-bedroom suite boasts a kitchenette and an extraordinary view. Room service is available around the clock should she develop a craving for caviar on toast points or some such delicacy. Three newspapers are deivered to her room every day at no charge. And one more thing: The room cost Mrs. Morse only $8 per day.
...the 89-year-old longtime guest at the ITT Luxury Collection hotel, where other guests pay as much as $1,600 a night."--Nancy keaes, "Only in New York, Luxury at $8 a Day." Wall Street Journal, Jan. 23, 1998, p. B9

Why you ask? Because she is still a tenet under New York's decades-old rent control and rent regulation laws. She has yet to sign out so, to her, those laws are still in effect until she voluntarily signs out.

ha.
