STATEMENT FROM MAYOR DE BLASIO ON NYS SUPREME COURT RULING UPHOLDING RENT GUILDLINES BOARD RENT FREEZE DECISION


   “Working people have beaten the landlord lobby. Despite attempts to overturn the recent rent freeze, a court has ruled the Rent Guidelines Board was correct in its decision. The rent freeze stays, and more than 2 million people in rent-regulated apartments can breathe a sigh of relief. We are fighting displacement and protecting affordable housing on every front. We have put shovels in the ground for more affordable housing and we’re investing in universal access to free legal services for tenants fighting eviction. We have more work to do, but together we are turning the tide.”
