Reply to "Rent Increases"

The legislation takes effect immediately I think. If anything happens again you can probably sue under the new law.

In other news the Rent Guidelines board is voting soon on the rent increases for stabilized apartments. For a while they were approving increases of 2% for one year leases and 4% for two years. But since Bloomberg appointed the board they have been going crazy with up to 7.5% increases for 2 year leases.

If Democrats take over the State Senate next year, one of the things tenant advocates want is for mayoral appointments to the rent guidelines board to need approval from the city council so they wont be landlord hacks.

If you want to help flip the Senate and get better rent laws, make a contribution to...

even if you can only give $20. Every bit will help towards strengthening tenant protections in New York.
