Tenants are rallying against Bronstein Properties for neglecting repairs & subjecting them to hazardous living conditions. We need long-term solutions that will keep tenants securely housed! We must pass #CleanHands NOW to hold landlords accountable for violations!
United Tenants of Albany retweeted
NO REPAIRS, NO RENT! Bronstein tenants say ENOUGH to landlord abuse. Tenants have filed 42,616 violations against #WorstEvictor Bronstein Properties. The state must pass #CleanHands to stop evictions in violation-ridden buildings @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie

Something about the landlord lobby's new Twitter handle seems.....vaguely familiar.....
Excited to lead the team at @HousingNY to push for abundant, quality, affordable housing!

FIVE (!) upstate cities have now opted into #GoodCause...and every single one has closed the LLC loophole that @GovKathyHochul and the state legislature introduced.
We're not stopping until every tenant has these protections.
Beacon became the latest upstate city to opt-in to Good Cause Eviction protections last night!
We were proud to support the campaign led by BCAN alongside @mhvdsa @CVHaction and @housing4allNY 💪
Up next: Hudson, Newburgh, Middletown, Town of Poughkeepsie, New Paltz....😈
Today, reps from the Danker Village Tenant Union visited their leasing office, calling on owner Marc Paquin to respond to requests for negotiations.
Instead, tenants were locked out of the office and were refused any response to union negotiations.
Yesterday, in 90 degree heat, 50+ tenants held a march and rally at Danker Village in Albany to fight against $600 rent hikes and declining maintenance, and to call for rent stabilization.
Cass Hill Development has only responded with neglect, intimidation, and deceit.
Mahmood Chaudry, a tenant at Danker Village, describes his neighbors being displaced, "There are many senior citizens here who fled their buildings out of an inability to pay their $500 increases. There are students getting PhDs that have to move in the middle of the semester,"
Stand with the Danker Village Tenants Union as they rally against huge rent hikes and poor conditions and call for Marc to meet with tenants! ✊🏽🏠

Millions across the country are struggling to keep a roof over their heads -- because landlords keep raising the rents for no reason but greed.
@KamalaHarris must pick up @JoeBiden's call for rent caps.

Biden's rent caps would protect us from rent-gouging and keep families in our homes.
While we wait for federal action on rent control, NYS can act now to keep rents affordable -- by expanding rent stabilization to cover every renter in the state.

Biden is calling for a cap on rent increases by landlords who own 51+ apartments if those landlords (usually corporations) want to qualify for federal tax write-offs
The rule would apply for 2 years
The rule wouldn’t apply to new development

NEW: Two years ago, Kingston tenants won a historic 15% rent reduction.
But New York State’s @NYSHCR won’t enforce it. And tenants are leaving their homes as a result. citylimits.org/2024/07/16/ki…

I’m on vacation this week and the winners are actually @mhvdsa @ithacaTU @UTAlbany @ForTheMany @CVHaction … @housing4allNY has an incredible team
New York tenants can't stop winning 💪🏠🏢
Four #GoodCause opt-ins in just a month and a half. We won't stop until every tenant is protected across the state.

Sitting is not a crime.
Resting is not a crime.
Sleeping is not a crime.
Camping is not a crime.
Being poor is not a crime.
Needing help is not a crime.
Homelessness is not a crime, it’s a policy failure.
