In NYC, even with savings and financial independence, brokers and landlords still demand a guarantor if you don’t meet their absurd 40-45x rent rule. Cuomo had 3 terms to fix this and did nothing.

MFJ helps a client avoid eviction from her 32-year rent-controlled home. “This isn’t just about one tenant,” said Patrick Tyrrell, Supervising Attorney @mfjlegal. “Landlords exploit loopholes to erode rent protections & displace long-term residents.” tinyurl.com/3tcez7bp

$7.3 billion stolen from cancer patients — and not one criminal charge for a health insurance executive. This is what it looks like when health insurance lobbyists pay off the politicians who write our laws.

Last night Croton-on-Hudson became the 13th locality in NYS to pass #GoodCause in less than a year. Tenants everywhere deserve the right to remain in their homes. Our stability will always be more important than landlord profits.
