New York City Landlord Wants You Out? There Had Better Be ‘Good Cause.’
Renters are feeling emboldened by a new law that can help them hang onto their homes and fight bank-breaking rent increases during lease renewals.

I sat in on a Union of Pinnacle Tenants town hall this weekend where @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @ceaweaver.bsky.social, and some 300 tenants talked organizing after a judge rejected their efforts to pause the sale of 93 Pinnacle Group apartment buildings to Summit Properties, another mega-landlord

What New York Tenants Are Building Beyond the Courtroom
Tenants across buildings owned by Pinnacle Group are testing whether collective power can force new arrangements with landlords and the city government under a new pro-tenant mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

We need people in City Hall who know that we—not the real estate industry, not the landlords—put them there, says @ceaweaver.bsky.social of @tenantbloc.bsky.social: www.commondreams.org/opinion/zohr...

Zohran Won by Running for the Tenant Majority | Common Dreams
This election was a fight between tenants versus landlords, and we have won the first battle. We still need to organize to win the general, and beyond that, tenant-focused policies.​

Just arrived home from the endorsement meeting, and these are my thoughts: @socialists.nyc is the only organization capable of producing a candidate like Zohran. @nywfp.bsky.social is the only organization capable of cohering the organized Left. I'm very proud of both of my orgs. Let's win this.

A new way to figure out if you're entitled to a lower rent increase this year just dropped. I spoke with @ceaweaver.bsky.social about this Good Cause Eviction caclculator from Housing Justice for All and JustFix last week.

Should you get a smaller rent increase under Good Cause? A new tool helps you figure it out
Find out if you're entitled to a lower rent hike.

I am so proud to receive the endorsement of the @tenantbloc.bsky.social. With the power of our city's tenant majority, we're going to freeze the rent and win a city we can afford.

Every New Yorker deserves a safe, healthy and affordable place to call home. Winning that city is at the center of this campaign. It was a privilege to sit down with @tenantbloc.bsky.social organizers last month to talk about our vision for renters.

We're out ALL OVER today talking to rent stabilized voters and reminding them that the Mayor controls the rents! We need ALL MAYORAL CANDIDATES to commit to a rent freeze! There are 2.4 million rent stabilized tenants -- we make New York New York, and we deserve to stay.

There are lots of things the mayor CANT do on housing, but freezing the rent is one of the only things they can unilaterally do for 2.4 million New York renters. Policy plans are great, so is a rent freeze

As someone who's been doing electoral work since 2008, I can tell you that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's mayoral field game is the best I've seen yet, including even John Liu 2013. The Left must be ready to rank several candidates, but Zohran is most definitely a contender. youtu.be/RDnwOLZFhyI?...

With every decision we make we have to ask — Will this help us reach unorganized people? Will it grow our power? We can’t expect different results using the same strategy, the same decisions, the same too-small set of organizations + people

HUD already operates on basically a shoestring budget. Waiting lists for subsidized housing are many years long and every year units are lost because housing authorities don’t get enough funding to make necessary repairs. Further cuts will put vulnerable people directly onto the streets.😖

Perhaps it’s not the most riveting answer but Sanitation issues are a big one. Landlord issues is maybe number 2. Your city councilperson can do a lot! Like when they were rolling out the rat bins in NYC, sometimes areas that got them came down to those who asked! Good rep + ppl speaking up matters
