The New York City Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) is holding a preliminary vote on proposed lease adjustments for rent-stabilized apartments, lofts and hotels.
The preliminary vote, held at 7pm on May 5, will see the board vote on a number of issues including rent stabilization and also potential changes to one and two-year lease guidelines among other topics.
The Legal Aid Society – an advocacy group that works to ensure that New Yorkers are not denied their right to equal justice because of poverty – issued several statements ahead of the preliminary vote calling for an outright freeze on all adjustments in order to maintain housing for tenants struggling to pay their rent.
