Starting a Small Biz is Hard but IT IS NOT the Biggest Hurdle. Commercial Tenants have NO protection from RENT HIKES & landlords who profit on workers' sweat w keymoney

Some changes that they can look forward to:

T.Y. @brandonwestnyc You're so right! This long overdue bill is CRITICAL & our leaders need to take action & PASS our FairRentNYC bill. How many more beloved thriving business need to shutter on your watch? How many jobs & communities LOST?@SpeakerMenin @NYCMayor @GovKathyHochul

We really need commercial rent regulation in NYC: small biz displacement goes hand in hand with gentrification. Commercial rents are unaffordable.

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

The Durst Organization put out a statement saying this building would be a perfect location for housing development.

We don’t need more luxury apartments, especially not at the cost of our community businesses. Pass Small Business Rent Stabilization

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

I have a bill with @EmilyAssembly called Small Business Rent Stabilization. It would level the playing field for NYC small businesses like Jimmy’s Corner as they compete with corporate chains.

[NYC Mayor's Office of Media & Entertainment @MadeinNY]

T.Y. @EmilyAssembly & @JuliaCarmel__ for leading the fight to END EXORBITANT RENT HIKES! How many more providers of essential services, creators of jobs & contributors of deep social & cultural value need to vanish before you act? @GovKathyHochul @ZohranKMamdani @SpeakerMenin

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

New landlord raised the rent for Gino's Pizza from $10k to $25k. That's a 150% rent increase. What small business owner can afford that?

This is why we need Small Business Rent Stabilization.

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

NYC small businesses can't survive 150% rent increases, but that's what too many of them are facing.

My and @EmilyAssembly 's Small Business Rent Stabilization bill would limit rent hikes, guarantee lease renewals, and protect at-will tenants like Jimmy's Corner.

I stand with small business owners over real estate billionaires every day of the week.

Save Jimmy’s Corner. Pass the Small Business Rent Stabilization Act.

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

A community of NYers showed up today in support of Jimmy's Corner and Small Business Rent Stabilization!

Our local businesses are shutting down because they can't compete with corporate chains. Our bill would limit rent hikes, guarantee lease renewals, & protect at-will tenants
