Campaigns and Coalitions

Alliance for Tenant Power: Renew and Strengthen the Rent Laws in June 2015!

The rent laws governing rent-regulation will expire in June 2015. Tenants & Neighbors is working with our allies in a coalition, the Alliance for Tenant Power, to renew and strengthen the rent laws. Rent-regulated housing is the primary source of housing for low income New Yorkers.  However, the pressure to deregulate apartments has led to the de-stabilization of diverse neighborhoods.  Tenants struggle with rising rents that have outpaced cost of living increases in income, and the windfall landlords receive in deregulated units has led to harassment and fraud.  The Alliance for Tenant Power is organizing to preserve and strengthen the rent regulation system legislatively to maintain diverse and livable communities.
