Rent increase to subtenant - Steven424 Dec 24, 2015

If you are in a co-op or condo, and there are no special clauses about subtenant rent increases in your proprietary lease or other governing documents, and you did not purchase your apartment with any NYC rent stabilization or rent control entitlements, there should not be any limits on how much you can increase the rent. Your sublet is market rate and can be as much as the market in your area can bear. You might ask a realtor who specializes in market rate rentals in your area what the going rate is for an apartment with the same characteristics as your's.
