NYC Public Advocate's Statement Ahead Of The Rent Guidelines Board Vote

June 30th, 2025

Press Release

"Unaffordability is the top issue for New Yorkers, as they clearly told us last week. Housing costs are driving tenants from their homes and from our city – working families, must be our top priority. Once again, Mayor Adams supports increasing rents across the board for millions of renters. "The Board’s own data showed landlords are making a profit. I know some small owners are truly struggling – the solution is not to demand more money from tenants who simply don’t have it as homelessness increases. "Don’t wait til next year to do the right thing – freeze the rent today."
