A New York City landlord is suing actress Faye Dunaway, claiming the actress' rent-stabilised apartment is not her primary residence.

The suit says the Bonnie & Clyde actress owns a house in West Hollywood, California, and has her voter and car registrations there.

Rent stabilisation rules require tenants to use those apartments as a primary residence, not a second home.

The suit says Faye pays $1,048 for the one-bedroom pad, which is half that of simliar apartment rentals in the area.

The 70-year-old actress didn't return calls seeking comment.
