## Resource

NYC’s Rent Guidelines Board just voted to freeze rents for a million rent-stabilized apartments — a major win for Mayor Mamdani, who made it a cornerstone of his campaign. While he’s kept quiet since taking office to appear hands-off, the move marks his first major policy victory. But it’s sparked controversy: a key landlord rep quit, calling the vote a sham rigged by City Hall, and a small-property group branded it a “farce,” blaming political pressure and the loss of their lone advocate. With legal challenges looming, this freeze could reshape the city’s housing landscape — and the battle lines are already drawn.
