Low-income tenants rally against rent increases at NYC rent board hearing
“New York City’s Rent Guidelines Board faced emotional pleas from low-income tenants on Monday evening, ahead of the expected rent increases for around one million rent-stabilized apartments in the five boroughs. The Board is holding public hearings across the city this month for tenants and others to voice their concerns. While the amount of the rent increase is currently unknown, tenants say any amount will result in them being pushed out of their homes.”
