The city has lost over 100,000 rent-stabilized units since 2019 due to landlords illegally raising rents and keeping units vacant to further drive up rents. Their manipulative actions are creating a fake housing crisis. This is illegal and must be stopped.

NYC lost over 100,000 rent-stabilized units since 2019, according to report | 6sqft

Despite a 2019 state law that forbids landowners from deregulating rent, the number of rent-stabilized apartments in New York City has dropped exponentially.

The “Tenant Safe Harbor Act” is an inadequate defense against evictions. It relies on judicial discretion, doesn’t adequately protect tenants, and lets landlords place tenants further in debt, and their health in jeopardy. @NYGovCuomo @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins #EvictionFreeNY

MFJ Atty Justin La Mort says of illegal lockouts: Sometimes tenants are “just out of the apartment and when they come back, it has a new lock and all their stuff is gone”. MFJ has seen a 184% increase in illegal lockout cases in March-June 2020 vs. 2019.
