“This increase will have devastating consequences for low-income tenants, many of whom are already rent-burdened or severely rent burdened,” - Robert Desir, a staff attorney, LAS. gothamist.com/news/nycs-rent…

News you can use City Limits! Now that we have the reasonableness threshold for NYC rent increases under Good Cause (8.82%) we've made a nifty calculator tool. There are a lot of ifs and buts here. That said, we hope this helps you get situated: citylimits.org/2024/05/09/try…

“If I hadn’t come across this TikTok video, I would have just settled for the 18% increase because there’s nothing cheaper out there. Or I would have just moved altogether" 20+ tenants shared their post-Good Cause experiences with me for WNYC 🎙-Gothamist gothamist.com/news/is-that-r…

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA)! Good excuse as any to dig into Tim Collins' intro to the Rent Guidelines Board and Rent Stabilization System: rentguidelinesboard.cityofnewyork.us/wp-content/upl… Here's a nugget:

WOW! Albany Common Council just opted into Good Cause Eviction protections, the FIRST in New York!! TYSM to those that moved for this in the NYS Legislature (@housing4allNY United Tenants of Albany + many others). For ALBANY, small landlord = ONE (1) unit, giving max protections to tenants.

Albany has set the standard, passing the strongest #GoodCause in NYS and closing Governor Kathy Hochul's loopholes. This is just the beginning: tenants are organizing across the state to bring #GoodCause to their cities. We won't stop until everyone has a safe, stable home.

Criminalizing homelessness won’t solve the crisis. Keeping rents low + housing our homeless neighbors will. This SCOTUS decision is cruel. But our fight for homes for all continues.

Deeply unfortunate. But the Mayor can't supersede what we do in Albany even if he tries often. This is why we must fund the Housing Access Voucher Program (HAVP) next year.

Landlords are registering tens of thousands of additional rent-stabilized apartments with New York’s housing agency than in recent years after the state imposed tougher penalties for failing to comply Alyssa Katz THE CITY thecity.nyc/2024/08/16/ren…

Tenants statewide won't be stopped!!

Good cause changes lives, tenant organizing transforms people. Feeling powerful versus your bully landlords for the first time, it’s good! hellgatenyc.com/good-cause-evi…

Fact: The words “affordable housing” have been mentioned more in four days at the #DNC than in the four years that Donald Trump was president. We’re not going back! 👊 #DNC2024CHICAGO

Many NY tenants can fight rent increases and evictions as Good Cause takes full effect. We are already wielding this new law in eviction court and you can too! thecity.nyc/2024/08/23/goo…

I think the U.S is the only nation in the world that zones 80% or more of its cities single family residential where not even a cafe is allowed.

Carolina Tejeda was getting rental assistance from a NYS program after serious car crash injuries kept her out of work But then ~$1,200/mo disability made her too “rich” to qualify for the rent aid Now she faces eviction from a $1,254/mo Bronx apartment gothamist.com/news/bronx-mom…

NEW: NYC landlord lobby groups are merging. And they have one goal: raising our rent. Despite its innocent name, the New York Apartment Association's true agenda is protecting real estate profits at the expense of working families.

Housing justice is a women's rights issue -- women headed households & women of color are more likely to be renters & face eviction. During our #PowHerTheVote panel this week, Cea Weaver of @Housing4AllNY spoke about bringing renters & women to the polls for #HousingJustice.

We’ve got 3 potential NYC mayors out here standing w tenants at Save63Tiffany — love to see it. You can’t hope to run this city without the tenants who make it run 😎

Today, the NYC Council announced ‘City for All,’ a holistic housing plan for all New Yorkers. Here’s what we’re most excited about: ✅ More tenant protection vouchers to keep people in their homes ✅ Funding for AHTP to ensure that tenants are in housing without bad conditions

We need a #CityForAll. Today, I am proud to call for a housing action plan centering our most vulnerable. Zoning reform must be paired with bold investments. Alongside Adrienne Adams, my colleagues, and advocates, we are putting forth solutions that leave the status quo behind.
