Three candidates challenging Mayor Eric Adams say the Rent Guidelines Board should stop increases for tenants in rent-stabilized apartments.
Three Democratic candidates for mayor are calling for a rent freeze for tenants in New York City’s roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.
Blake, who is considering a bid to lead the Democratic National Committee, also said he unequivocally supports a freeze. “Should we freeze rent? The answer is yes,” he said. “Any mayoral candidate pledging to destroy that independence is either pandering for votes, or they are admitting they do not intend for the RGB to follow the law,” said Burgos, a former assemblymember from the Bronx who left office last year to lead the landlord group.
State Sen. Zellnor Myrie said he would “appoint members of the Rent Guidelines Board that will be putting our renters first,” while Comptroller Brad Lander said he would appoint tenants to the board.
