The decision from the Supreme Court sends a clear message to the real estate industry: rent stabilization is here to stay. No matter how hard they try to undermine rent stabilization, rent stabilized tenants are organized and will continue to fight for their homes.

@HarveyforNY @SenatorRJackson @SenatorSerrano @PamelaHunter128 @CarlHeastie @housing4allNY Several of our members spoke with @kevinparkernyc, who seems to be in support of tenant protections, but shamelessly refuses to make them a reality. Passing #GoodCause would mean that tenants receive strong protections against evictions. #GoodCauseNow
@HarveyforNY @SenatorRJackson @SenatorSerrano @PamelaHunter128 Now: Housing advocate Charlie confronts @CarlHeastie to support #GoodCause and he rushes off
Back in Albany for the 2nd year in a row during Caucus Weekend, We’ll be playing Birddog Bingo urging our elected officials to champion Good Cause, HAVP, and TOPA. All Newyorkers deserve a place to call home and stronger protections #PassGoodCause #HAVP #TOPA
Honored to stand with housing justice advocates from @Met_Council, @tenantneighbor during #CaucusWeekend. Committed to advancing affordable housing & tenants' rights, I deeply appreciate their dedication & sacrifices for District 31 & working-class tenants in NY. Thank you!
Caught up w @housing4allNY heavyweight Sen. @Gonzalez4NY this weekend to ask if she would vote to #PassGoodCause and help keep tenants in their homes “I love #GoodCause … It is one of the bills I ran on and one my tri-borough district wants to see happen this year”
5. And lastly, if you have an eviction case and have the money to pay the back rent, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING SAYING THE CASE IS OVER. Too many people pay the back rent, but are off by a few hundred…and unbeknownst to them, case ain’t over.
4. If you rent an apt, make sure you are renting from the owner. Too many people think they’re renting from the landlord when they’re actually just subleasing from the tenant of record who is now living elsewhere. So many Nextdoor posts about this
3. If you go out of town…what reason is there to inform the landlord or super? I’m telling you this because in eviction cases, this little statement is common in court: “Oh so they have Miami money, but they can’t pay the rent?!” Keep your business from pocket watchers.
2. Please for the love of God, the super is not your friend. That is the landlord’s employee. In the 11 yrs I’ve practiced, all I’ve heard is “I brought back a keychain from DR” “I made him cake”…after super testified against you in eviction case. Be nice, but cautious.
Ok tenants… If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I give tenants a lot of tips and resources. So it’s time to review my TOP 5 that you need to keep in mind:
There is a campaign out there to deregulate RSA in NYC?!?
@Darius4MetC @DorcaNYC @NYCMayor I second this post!! @DorcaNYC is humble and expresses herself sincerely. 🏡
Today we are outside the office of @GovKathyHochul demanding that New York state retain the Right To Shelter because every human being deserves a safe bed to sleep in no matter when they arrived or how they came here 🇺🇸
This morning, lawmakers and advocates joined together at Governor Hochul's Manhattan Office to call on her to create statewide right to shelter, invest in rental assistance and tenant protections, and provide a path to social housing for all.
Cousin?
Enjoyed some staff time as well!

NEW @CityLimitsNews: The U.S. Supreme Court has *denied* cert in two outstanding challenges to rent stabilization in NY: supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
There’s a pending senate bill 143 right now in CT that would stop no-fault evictions. In other words, just cause your lease runs out doesn’t mean tenant has to go. LL has to show tenant breached lease somehow. And they’re scrappin to make sure it doesn’t pass.
CT Senator Rob Sampson says eviction protections are communism. Kenny Morris from @unitedforrights says housing is an internationally recognized human right.

Newark NJ just announced some amazing news: For their affordable housing lottery, the city is selling fixer upper houses for $1! To be eligible, you have to have lived in Newark for 5 years OR be city residents displaced by gentrification. Their goal is to create homeownership

You don’t need to know everything about the current war in Palestine to get in motion, take action and recognize the humanity in everyone. Solidarity means joining the growing movement for peace. Text ‘Ceasefire’ to 30403 to learn how you can take action. #CeasefireNow
5. And lastly, if you have an eviction case and have the money to pay the back rent, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING SAYING THE CASE IS OVER. Too many people pay the back rent, but are off by a few hundred…and unbeknownst to them, case ain’t over.
4. If you rent an apt, make sure you are renting from the owner. Too many people think they’re renting from the landlord when they’re actually just subleasing from the tenant of record who is now living elsewhere. So many Nextdoor posts about this
(And mind you….in a lot of these cases, people are going for funerals or caretaking a relative and not “vacation” but to anyone pocket watching all they’re thinking about is you have money to travel.🙄)
3. If you go out of town…what reason is there to inform the landlord or super? I’m telling you this because in eviction cases, this little statement is common in court: “Oh so they have Miami money, but they can’t pay the rent?!” Keep your business from pocket watchers.
2. Please for the love of God, the super is not your friend. That is the landlord’s employee. In the 11 yrs I’ve practiced, all I’ve heard is “I brought back a keychain from DR” “I made him cake”…after super testified against you in eviction case. Be nice, but cautious.
1. If you post about your rare pets online, be prepared for the backlash. I’m not talking cats and dogs. I’m talking possums and rats and whatever else. People do this and…their neighbors see it and go “oh hell no” and complain to landlord. (Also, do not own illegal pets).
Ok tenants… If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I give tenants a lot of tips and resources. So it’s time to review my TOP 5 that you need to keep in mind:
