In light of the expiration of the rent regulation laws that affect more than two million New Yorkers, State Senator Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) issued the following statement:
“I have approximately 40,000 rent regulated units in my district, and the tenants are standing by concerned about what could happen to them because no agreement has been reached to renew our state’s rent laws. I continue to urge my colleagues to strengthen these laws to protect hundreds of thousands of hard working families who have fallen victim to skyrocketing rent prices in recent years.”
“It is unfortunate Senate republicans are playing games with people’s lives by approving a last-minute 8-year extension in an attempt to scale back the rent regulation laws. We need real reform because New Yorkers deserve better.”
