Mamdani unveils 23 NYC rental proposals, including credit-check reforms, tenant unions and tiny elevators

Tiny elevators in walk-ups. Formal recognition for tenant unions. A rethink of credit checks and the widely used requirement that apartment seekers earn 40 times the monthly rent.

Those are among 23 proposals in a new roadmap released Thursday by the Mamdani administration, aimed at changing how New York City renters find apartments, report unsafe conditions, and confront landlords who fail to make repairs.
