NYC Public Advocate Calls for Rent Freeze Ahead of Preliminary Vote

"Over the last three years, this mayor and his allies have instituted the steepest rent increases in decades. They have actively chosen to make our city less affordable. 

"A rent freeze is essential to limit the damage and help keep New Yorkers in their homes. We can provide support to the small owners who are genuinely struggling, without continuing to squeeze tenants with rents they simply cannot afford. I urge the Rent Guidelines Board to deliver long-overdue relief, and any leaders who claim to care about affordability to join our urgent call for a freeze."
