Syracuse Tenants Union

Syracuse Tenants Union is a tenant-led grassroots organization fighting for safe, dignified housing for all. DM us to join!

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

NY leaders may leave hundreds of thousands of tenants out of #GoodCause with a NYC-only bill.

Now 50+ groups outside NYC are demanding @GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, and @CarlHeastie protect EVERY tenant from rent hikes and evictions. No carve-outs. https://t.co/6bREeuJwzU

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 @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins it’s time to deliver for tenants: https://t.co/CkjrtP2iCJ

@not_your_LL @housing4allNY It does not apply to holdover evictions, which is when a landlord arbitrarily chooses not to renew a lease. For month-to-month tenants in Syracuse (which many are), this means a landlord can choose to not renew their lease after they call Codes and doesn't need to cite a reason.

[Syracuse Tenants Union @UnionSyracuse]

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.

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

If #GoodCause does not pass this session, @AndreaSCousins signature will be on every no-cause eviction warrant in New York.

@GovKathyHochul, @CarlHeastie, @AndreaSCousins will be personally responsible for every rent hike, every retaliatory eviction in our state.

[Syracuse Tenants Union @UnionSyracuse]

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: https://t.co/b18o7CievC

[Jabari Brisport @JabariBrisport]

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 NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

.@GovKathyHochul. you know who really doesn’t have time?

Tenants who are facing rent hikes RIGHT NOW.

Get it together. Pass #GoodCause.

[Syracuse Tenants Union @UnionSyracuse]

Join THOUSANDS of tenants as we march on May 20!

RSVP: https://t.co/vponLoH02L

There will be a bus from Syracuse - details TBA.

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

Instead of coming together to deliver for NYers struggling amidst a historic housing crisis, @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins & @CarlHeastie 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/

‼️💥HAPPENING NOW💥 ‼️Chinatown tenants @ housing court rallying in support of #GoodCause eviction protections.

No budget without #GoodCause - tell NY legislators #TenantsCantWait:

[Julia Salazar (@juliasalazar on bluesky) @JuliaCarmel__]

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.

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

NEW from @SenatorBrouk and AM @DemondLMeeks in the @DandC:

“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.”

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

“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.” -- @HarryBBronson https://t.co/rsfnm2Ow4Y

[Syracuse Tenants Union @UnionSyracuse]

“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."

"Yinhan Zhang, a doctoral student in economics at Syracuse University, said she hopes “good cause” can help keep her rent within reason. Last year, her rent increased about 40%."

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!

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

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. https://t.co/9zSjoPt6JU
