US Supreme Court declines to hear challenges to NY rent stabilization law

The US Supreme Court has declined to hear two challenges to New York’s rent stabilization law, keeping in place a system regulating rents for roughly a million apartments despite landlords attempting to overturn it.

The high court in Washington declined to grant certiorari to two landlords’ challenges, G-Max Management and Building & Realty Institute of Westchester and Putnam Counties. The court did not give a reason for the denial, nor was a tally of the justices provided. The memo did note that Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch would have granted certiorari a legal term where a petitioner seeks review of a lower court decision by a higher court.
