New Yorkers at Risk of Being Kicked Out of their Apartments

The Issue

Rent laws for ALL rent-regulated apartments expire on June 15, 2011.  We need Governor Cuomo to protect tenants by renewing and strengthening rent laws, and ending vacancy destabilization.

Rent regulation provides tenants with important protections such as guaranteed lease renewal and stable rent increases.  This system not only protects tenants, it stabilizes neighborhoods and protects New York by making sure that there are homes that middle and working class people can afford to live in.
