The Rent Stabilization Association- RSA

Tonight, the City Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) approved RGB Order No. 53, which will go into effect for renewal and vacancy leases commencing between October 1, 2021 and September 30, 2022. Despite concerns that Mayor Bill de Blasio would once again call for the Board to enact a complete rent freeze in his last year in office while the COVID-19 pandemic still impacted thousands of rent-stabilized tenants, the Board took into consideration various arguments made by RSA, as well... as testimony from RSA members. Although we advocated for much higher rent increases, the increases approved by the Board provide a clear indication that the plight of rent-stabilized property owners resonated with Board Members to some degree this year. Below is a summary of Rent Guidelines Board Order No. 53: One-year lease: 0% for the first six months, 1.5% for the last six months Two-year lease: 2.5%

Landlords were left out of the economic relief equation during the pandemic. Now, government says everything is back to normal except for rental property owners and that is totally unacceptable, https://bit.ly/3cOtlK4

NYC has received an infusion of money from the federal government. DEP should be seeking a bailout from Mayor de Blasio, not making water rate payers pick up the tab. If our friends at the City Council cared about their constituents, particularly small homeowners, they would speak up https://therealdeal.com//landlords-plea-for-water-rate-f/

Lincoln's story is not unique. This is simply one voice telling the story of thousands of small property owners throughout the City who have been neglected by all levels of government throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic https://nbcnews.to/3pvLrp7

With the remaining $60 million in COVID Rent Relief now available and millions more coming in the latest stimulus package, we can only begin to hope that this much-needed relief will aid building owners and struggling tenants https://trd.media/ny/dpxjFz

The application process for the COVID Rent Relief Program has been re-opened today though February 1, 2021. With $60 million still available in rental subsidies, this is major news for you and your tenants who were financially-impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Visit https://hcr.ny.gov/rrp and pass the information along to your tenants so that they can apply as soon as possible!

With $60 million unused from the COVID Rent Relief Program, time is ticking and Governor Cuomo must give clarity ASAP. Thousands of tenants need this rental relief and with zero government relief for landlords, they need these rental payments to stay afloat https://bit.ly/2W2OSpE

The progressive, anti-owner @NYCCouncil has zero comprehension of the financial burdens that exist to operate rental properties. This would be the icing on the cake https://bit.ly/3lmkReE. Building owners must join us and fight against Intro. 1146-B https://council.nyc.gov/testify/

Time to put the radical agenda aside and start talking common sense solutions @SenGianaris https://bit.ly/2IEAikQ
