One down, 4 tenant demands to go

Before the December 31, 2023 deadline, Governor Hochul signed the bill to cap rents in Frankensteined apartments, imposed penalties for failure to register stabilized apartments, clarify succession rights, and define fraud.  (S.2980, as amended by S.8011.)

But tenants need more!   Our Homes, Our Power - the 2024 campaign of Housing Justice for All  has bills affecting for areas:

• Market-rate tenants need the "Good Cause" bill passed so they can count on renewal leases without exorbitant rent increases. 
• All New Yorkers need more "social housing" like the Mitchell-Lama program. T
• Tenants whose buildings are being sold need first option to purchase (with support from non-profits) to keep their homes affordable. 
• Poor tenants need Housing Access Vouchers.

Let's get to work!  Contact your local tenant association or Housing Justice for All - or one of its more than 80 member groups.
