Senator Espaillat: Tenants Subjected to More Uncertainty as Senate Republicans Introduce Another Bad, One-House Rent Bill

"As tenants grow more anxious, the Senate Republican Majority has introduced another bad, one-house bill that doesn't do enough to protect tenants. We need progress not posturing to truly strengthen rent laws, so working New Yorkers have a home in our city."
