For months, tenants have known that a rent freeze would keep tenants housed and not destroy NYC's economy as we know it (despite landlord claims 🤡). Now, a recent Moody's Analytics Report shows that we were right. https://t.co/3ZfNAAm5qc

Yesterday, we raised the income thresholds for SCRIE, DRIE, SCHE, & DHE to $75k in the state budget — a huge win for seniors & New Yorkers with disabilities. These programs are critical topreventing displacement & ensuring housing stability for those who need it the most.
For 6 years, rents in rent‑stabilized apartments have risen while wages lag behind. Even the Rent Guidelines Board’s own data shows landlord profits growing year after year.
Nearly 2 in 3 tenants can’t make ends meet.
New Yorkers are clear: it’s time to freeze the rent!
New York, let's get organized.
In a city of over 8 million, just 400 people showed up to speak at the last Rent Guidelines Board hearing — where decisions about rents are made.
We can do better.
If we want a city that works for tenants and landlords alike, we need New Yorkers to show up and make their voices heard.
The next hearings are this June. Visit https://t.co/LI1gCRCLJ5 to get involved.
Who decides whether or not stabilized rents are raised? Meet the Rent Guidelines Board.
Here's what you should know about the board and how to make your voice heard.
If someone claims to be a City inspector, you have the right to know it’s really us.
City personnel will always carry City-issued ID and will never ask about immigration status.
If something doesn’t feel right, you don’t have to let anyone in.
The hearings are open to everyone interested in weighing in from any angle of the housing spectrum. To learn about where the next three events will be, or to submit comments online, please visit https://t.co/BtQDWfala3. Thank you.
New York City: The time has arrived. Finally, a chance to tell the city EXACTLY what your landlord’s been getting away with. NYC’s first Rental Ripoff Hearings are happening in all five boroughs, and we want to hear from you. Real New Yorkers. Real stories. Real policy changes.

Presented my letter, co-signed by 20 Assembly Members representing NYC calling for a rent freeze today at the final Rent Guidelines Board Hearing. When I was a member of the RGB, I led the effort for the 1st and 2nd rent freezes in NYC history.
Dutch (yes, *that* Dutch from Tiktok😍) told the rent board:
“If these landlords are struggling so badly…
They can do what they tell all of us to do…
THEY CAN GET A JOB!”
