SENATOR RIVERA STATEMENT ON ON NEW YORK CITY'S RENT GUIDELINES BOARD (RGB) VOTE

Senator Rivera was disappointed but not surprised by the decision from Mayor Adams' hand-picked Rent Guideline Board to increase the rent on 2 million rent-stabilized tenants in New York City for the third consecutive year.


These increases will take effect on leases renewed between October 1st, 2024 and September 30th, 2025. If you have a rent-stabilized lease that expires after October 2024, you may be subject to the new rent increase.


Senator Rivera's office is here to help if you need assistance navigating your next lease renewal. To learn more, call our office at 718-933-2034.
