BREAKING: Albany’s #GoodCause law struck down, judge rules that ONLY the state can pass #GoodCause. It’s time for Sen. Stewart-Cousins Carl E. Heastie to act. We’re in a housing crisis and tenants need help. If cities can’t pass #GoodCause, our state lawmakers must.

Tenants in Syracuse continue to fight for Good Cause protections at the state level. Syracuse City Council already passed a resolution supporting statewide Good Cause -- we need this common sense legislation now! Governor Kathy Hochul Sen. Stewart-Cousins Carl E. Heastie

A new landlord bought these Syracuse tenants' building...and then immediately gave all the residents eviction notices. The landlord wants to turn the building into luxury apartments. We need #GoodCause. #TenantsCantWait. informnny.com/news/skyline-r…

Kerryann had lived in her Tipp Hill home for 9 years when her landlord unexpectedly forced her to leave so that he could remodel the home to "get more rent from someone else." #TenantsCantWait We need #GoodCause in Upstate NY to protect tenants against holdover evictions!

“Housing is a human right, and we must do everything in our power to make sure that everyone, everyone has a place to lay their head and a place to call home. That’s what #GoodCause is all about — it’s about equity and fairness.” -- Harry B. Bronson wxxinews.org/local-news/202…

“In Buffalo and throughout New York, Black and brown children and their families disproportionately suffer the lifelong impacts of lead paint exposure,” said Attorney General James. “We cannot allow landlords’ neglect to steal our children’s futures." ag.ny.gov/press-release/…

NEW from NYS Senator Samra Brouk and AM Demond Meeks in the Democrat & Chronicle: “In Rochester, the ZIP codes with the highest eviction rates also have the highest levels of crime. #GoodCause and #HAVP are key to stabilizing families and addressing the root causes of poverty and crime.”

It is shameful that we still have to fight in New York just to get the basic protections that #GoodCause would afford tenants, when Good Cause has already been the law in New Jersey for decades. This is what we're fighting for in this year's budget. Right now.

Instead of coming together to deliver for NYers struggling amidst a historic housing crisis, Governor Kathy Hochul Sen. Stewart-Cousins & Carl E. Heastie seem to be throwing their hands in the air. That's why today we dropped this banner over the GWB bridge. Inaction is not an option. 🧵 1/

Yesterday the Senate passed my bill S5905, which prevents children from being listed on eviction warrants. After talking about the merits of the bill, I took time on the floor to demand that we pass Good Cause Eviction. 9 Senators joined me. 🏠Let's pass Good Cause this year.

The rent is TOO DAMN HIGH. And it’s time to stand up and fight back. Join thousands of tenants from across the state on Saturday, May 20 as we demand NO MORE RENT HIKES. We need #GoodCause, #HAVP, and a #RentRollback. RSVP: hj4a.org/May20

We spoke with a tenant yesterday in Syracuse who was evicted exactly one month after calling Code Enforcement in a holdover or 'no-cause' case that was clearly retaliation. Meanwhile, slumlords in Syracuse fail to make repairs and cycle through tenants. We need #GoodCause NOW.

NEW: the legislature is NEGOTIATING ON HOUSING. They’ve formed a working group to pull a deal together -- and #GoodCause is on the table. We know Albany works best on a deadline. Tell Carl E. Heastie and Sen. Stewart-Cousins it’s time to deliver for tenants: hj4a.org/CallYourRep

Tenant protections and new housing supply have constantly been framed as in conflict. Many attributed the latter's failure to the former's supporters. We found a very different fault line: lawmakers who own property overwhelmingly oppose both policies. nysfocus.com/2023/06/13/lan…

NY leaders may leave hundreds of thousands of tenants out of #GoodCause with a NYC-only bill. Now 50+ groups outside NYC are demanding Governor Kathy Hochul, Sen. Stewart-Cousins, and Carl E. Heastie protect EVERY tenant from rent hikes and evictions. No carve-outs. cityandstateny.com/politics/2024/…
