## Resource

Attorney General Letitia James is suing two Brooklyn landlords for years of illegally charging market rates in rent-stabilized buildings, failing to register their units, and harassing tenants seeking proper leases. The AG’s office demands the buildings be reclassified, new stabilized leases issued, and refunds for overpaid rent — a move that could deliver major relief to tenants and set a precedent in New York’s ongoing fight for housing justice.
