The NYC Rent Guidelines Board voted Monday to raise rents by 2.75% on one-year leases and 5.25% on two-year leases – not nearly enough to cover the skyrocketing cost of maintaining a rent stabilized building.
That didn’t stop tenant advocates from protesting the increase: board members were heckled, protesters were arrested, and the unsustainable status quo was extended for another year.
This week on Housing New York, Jay looks at how intense political pressure has corrupted the rent guidelines process and what might be done to fix it.
