Supreme Court Tosses Broad Challenge to Rent Stabilization in NY
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said it will not consider a challenge to rent stabilization from major landlord groups in New York, prompting a sigh of relief among tenants even as they await clarity on two other similar cases still pending.
Under rent stabilization, tenants across nearly 1 million apartments in New York City benefit from lease renewal rights, and limited annual rent adjustments.
“We’re optimistic but we need all three of these cases to not be granted cert, so we are still waiting, honestly,” said Cea Weaver, organizing director for the statewide tenant coalition Housing Justice for All. “I don’t think we are fully out of the woods here, but we of course think this law is constitutional.”
