Albany wants to expand NYC’s
broken rent system statewide.

Their rent proposals are
bad news for our communities.

X They will not create a single new affordable apartment for poor and middle-

class families.

X Will make it impossible for many owners to afford to maintain their properties,

causing buildings to fall into disrepair.

X Will cost the jobs of thousands of local contractors and small businesses while

discouraging investment in new housing.

X Will drive up YOUR property taxes or lead to service cuts if rent regulations

expand statewide.

We need responsible rent reforms that protect
tenants and our communities.
