IMPRESSIVE WIN!
I want you to be one of the first to hear it from me:
This week the independent Rent Guidelines Board voted to freeze rents on one-year leases and, for the first time in the history of New York City, on two-year leases, too.
For more than two million New Yorkers in rent-stabilized homes, the rent will not go up.
Let that sink in for a second, because I'm still sitting with it myself.
This is the relief that working people across our city deserve. It's a single mom in the Bronx who can breathe a little easier next month. It's a retired teacher in Queens who isn't lying awake doing the math. It’s relief that working people can feel in their own homes, in their own bank accounts, starting now.
And, I need you to know that this was your victory.
It belongs to every New Yorker who testified and organized to show up at the Rent Guidelines Board. To everyone who believed a different kind of government was possible before there was any proof it could exist.
This is what it looks like when tenant power refuses to quit.
This week, tenants showed our city what bold leadership looks like. Their victory motivates me to keep working to deliver a more affordable city: building and preserving affordable housing, lowering the costs that landlords use as an excuse, and making sure every neighbor in this city knows their rights.
That work only happens with you by my side.
Our city’s tenants are showing the entire country what's possible when working people stop asking for permission and start delivering for themselves. This is a New Era for New York City, and we are just getting started.
In solidarity,
Zohran Mamdani
Mayor of New York City
