This major shift comes after a year when both one- and two-year leases saw hikes, and follows months of protests from tenants chanting in multiple languages. One landlord even resigned before the vote, calling it a mandate she opposed. While the mayor publicly backed the freeze, the board remains independent. Landlords argue rising maintenance and insurance costs will strain their finances, especially for older buildings, while tenants breathe easier knowing rent won’t climb. The decision reflects a city grappling with affordability, wage stagnation, and deepening divides between renters and owners. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
