Summary
New York City’s Rent Guidelines Board is holding its final public hearing before deciding on rent hikes for a million rent-stabilized apartments—ranging from zero percent to four percent, depending on lease length. Tenants plead for a freeze as affordability crises mount, while landlords argue they need increases to cover soaring costs. Last year’s hikes were 3% and 4.5%, and the final vote is June 25—with changes taking effect October 1.
