Landlord groups are trying to topple New York's rent stabilization system, which caps legal yearly rent increases on roughly 1 million apartments in New York City.
The U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to consider a challenge to New York’s rent stabilization laws that could have ended a cap on rent increases for a million apartments citywide. But two similar cases are still awaiting a decision by the justices.dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Community Housing Improvement Program and Rent Stabilization Association -- groups that represent owners of rent-regulated apartments.
Legal Aid Housing Attorney Ellen Davidson said she was relieved by the court’s decision to reject the case from CHIP and RSA, but is keeping her eye on the other two pending challenges. In 2019, New York lawmakers sharply limited the tools available to landlords of stabilized apartments who wanted to raise rents, by largely prohibiting many prior practices — like increases on empty units— through a sweeping legislative package that prompted the cases before the Supreme Court.
Martin said his organization will continue pushing for legislative changes that allow owners to raise rents on vacant rent-stabilized apartments.
