Real Rent Reform Campaign

With a mayor who campaigned for a rent freeze, and with fair-minded appointees now on the RGB, we can make 2014 the year of the Rent Freeze!There has never been a rent freeze before.  For decades, the Rent Guidelines Board has ignored rising rents and housing instability in NYC without consequence.

The Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) can vote to roll back or freeze rents for struggling tenants after years of increasing profits for landlords. 

Tenants demanded meetings in every borough - and we got them.  So let's fill those hearing rooms!   Click here for a flyer in English or Spanish.

RGB PRELIMINARY VOTE MAY 5
On Thursday, April 24th, Mayor Bill De Blasio named Rachel Godsil as the new chair of the NYC Rent Guidelines Board. This happened just in time to have a full board meeting on Monday.

Mayor de Blasio called for a rent freeze on the campaign trail last year. But we know that 2.5 million tenants have been hit with increase after increase while landlords made money hand over fist, and many New Yorkers can't afford rent right now.

That’s why we’re calling for a RENT ROLLBACK on May 5 when the Rent Guidelines Board has its preliminary vote on rent adjustments for the approximately one million rent stabilized apartments in NYC.

We need heavy turnout if we're going to make an impact on the board. The landlords are expected to be there in force. Help us fill the auditorium and join us for a victory rally after the vote. 

What: RGB Preliminary Vote
When: Monday, May 5, 5pm
