  • The Rent Stabilization Association, which represents 25,000 owners and managers of around 1 million rent-stabilized apartments in the city, on Tuesday proposed a rent increase of 4.5 to 6 percent on one-year leases for rent-stabilized units and 7 to 9 percent for two-year leases. Renters say they can't afford that, but landlords say they are struggling to maintain their buildings.

      Housing is not an investment. It is shelter. It would be more sustainable, and drive rents down by up to 60% if everybody had a Tenant Union. Where the maintaining, costs, taxes and mortgage is divided amongst the # of units, where no profit in being made, not one person, telling a family that they're homeless. Top annual expenses for a 300 unit building, $980,290 + $300,000 emegency fund for building / 300 units = $4,267.63 / 12 months = $356 per unit per mon at most It's all price gouging and bullshit. We need a purge of Landlords. Same people who whine about the homeless, are the same people pricing out working class families, turning them into homeless. (ironically the same ones who won't adjust their wages to afford said $1,500 unit) We can literally have $350-600 rents.

    Broker here. $9,500/month is approximately a $2M mortgage. Yes that will buy you a mansion (or at least a McMansion) anywhere in this country. New Yorkers sometimes pay that to get their children zoned in high performing public schools. Sounds crazy but I’ve had many clients do this, especially in Tribeca and the Upper East Side. They also do that if they aren’t sure they will be in New York long term and don’t want to set down roots here. I’m not surprised by these prices at all. All of my rental portfolio is coming back online for the peak season (Memorial Day to Labor Day), and they will all be significantly higher. But Vito’s attitude is especially concerning and elitist. If some of these landlord can’t maintain the building sany more, they should sell it to a landlord who can. It’s wrong to approve someone based on their current annual income (which in NYC is 40x the monthly rent), then raise their rent over 7% annually. Industry standard is 3-5% year over year, NOT 7-9%!!

    You make 45,000 a year and end up with a rent of 2,000-3,500 or more. How are people going to pay those ranges of rent with a salary like this. Do these landlords not think people need to eat, pay other bills, student loans at many times. No wonder homelessness has increased and they ask why. Now you have to live with roommates or live with family members in order to make rent.

It's the state and city that have raised taxes with gas and water being more expensive and a lot of that falls on the occupants in the property. A lot of native NYC property owners aren't millionaires trying to make an excess living off of their tenants.

    They do not care about working class people. Either you are rich or poor and the.middle class are suffering. Rent stabilization is a law that should stay in place, we all want to survive to live in New York but with inflation hitting a time high, how are the working class supposed to survive? We the people of New York have to stand up for our given rights before we have nothing.

    It's called fair market value. To have a land owner supplement a person's inability to pay fair market value is ridiculous. No one lowers the taxes & mortgage for the property owner. If you can't afford it you have to relocate. I did it without complaint. Leaving NYC l was able to purchase my own land increase my net worth and build an estate to pass on to family upon my expiration. I wasn't going to pay insane rent and have someone else build their wealth off my sweat.

    This is the outcome of selling real estate too high…now owners are not making any profits.
    They’re lying. There are no bidding wars to pay these increases.
    They’re kicking out tenants to do short term leasing and air B and B.

      At 33.33% you're landlord becomes the federal government, and you're apartment becomes a subsidized project.

      imagine 33% of your income going to rent... 33% going to taxes.... now another 10% going to student debt.... the national average for credit card debt is over 10% of the average income.... thats 86% of your income..... what the fuck are you supposed to live off now?

      *Have you not learned anything in the past 2 years?*
      When Government gets involved, they make the situation worse. The Landlords will only rent to the super wealthy, because 33% of $500,000 is profitable, but 33% of $36,000 is not.
