The Kushner Cos. reportedly filed false paperwork with New York City officials regarding the apartment buildings it owned.

The Associated Press reported that the company in 2015 bought three apartment buildings in Queens.

The company, which was run at the time by White House adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner, then pushed people out and raised rents in the buildings even though many of the tenants were protected by rules that said developers couldn’t raise rents or push them out to create a profit, according to the news service.

Kushner Cos. sold the buildings two years later for nearly double the price it paid to buy them, the AP reported. The AP reported that the company often filed paperwork with New York City saying it didn’t have any rent-regulated tenants in the buildings it owned.

But, according to the AP, it had hundreds of rent-regulated tenants across the city.
