If you dread getting your Central Hudson bill every month, you’re not alone! 

We’re organizing to take over Central Hudson and replace it with the Hudson Valley Power Authority, a publicly-owned and democratically-controlled utility with cheaper rates and cleaner energy ⚡

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

The REST Act has momentum because New Yorkers in every region of the state are facing a housing crisis.

Right now the legislature has an opportunity to act to make rents more affordable.

Pass REST this week to give tenants the relief we deserve.

Upstate cities should be able to opt into rent stabilization so we can prevent massive rent hikes and homelessness just like NYC. @sarahana & @michelehirsch9 explain why we need @NYSA_Majority to make it possible by passing the REST Act now.

Tenants deserve a REST! Our bill to empower localities outside NYC to opt into rent stabilization has passed the Housing and Codes committees in the Assembly.

Two weeks left before the legislative session ends, let's get this done 🏃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” @LindaBRosenthal]

Rent stabilization allows families to remain in their communities, but localities outside NYC have been unable to benefit from such protections.

Proud to pass @sarahana’s #RESTAct through the Assembly Housing Committee to provide a common-sense path for localities to opt in.

[Community Service Society of New York (CSS) @CSSNYorg]

📢Renters in Albany, Buffalo, Kingston, Ithaca, Rochester & Syracuse face high rent burdens and rising costs.

The REST Act would give local officials the power to step in and stabilize rents before more families are displaced.

At our Rental Ripoff Hearings, we’ll come together as neighbors to bring the issues we’ve faced out in the open and build momentum for the REST Act, which will expand our rent stabilization laws so it’s easier for cities to adopt it and freeze the rent.

Upstate cities have the legal right to opt into rent stabilization but face an unnecessarily high barrier to opt in. We rallied tenants from across the the state to pass my bill, the REST Act (A04877), that gives localities outside of NYC more control to stabilize rents.

New York can protect up to 10 million tenants by passing this bill—but we need to get it done before the end of this year’s legislative session ⏰

‼️ We need all hands on deck. Email key legislators to demand they pass REST before June 4th: https://t.co/7xbUzLxguA

Tenants deserve REST! 🗣️

We rallied in Albany yesterday with tenants from around the state to demand our lawmakers pass the REST Act, which would expand New York’s rent stabilization laws so it’s easier for towns and cities across the state to adopt it.
