(NYT36) NEW YORK -- May 8, 2008 -- HEDGEFUND-LANDLORDS -- Tenants stage a demonstration outside the office of Credit Suisse Securities in New York on April 12, 2008, to protest what they call a pattern of harassment aimed at forcing them to vacate their apartments. Private investment firms have been amassing what may seem like unusual stakes in New York real estate in recent years: they have bought tens of thousands of rent-regulated apartments across the city that produce decidedly meager returns.
