protect tenants and property owners.
Albany’s rent proposals:
Do not create a single new unit of affordable housing.
Do not help low-income families find new affordable housing.
Will make it impossible for owners like Chris to meet their costs and
afford to invest in maintaining and improving their buildings.
Hundreds of thousands of rent stabilized units, especially older units
in the boroughs outside of Manhattan, will be at risk.

My dad and I take pride in
making sure our tenants have a
good home. Right now, the laws
make sure we can maintain the
building, but still keep rents
these laws, we won’t be able to
invest in the building the way
we do now. ”
