Meet New York State’s New Top Tenant Advocate

Housing Justice for All and its organizing arm, the New York State Tenant Bloc, have had a productive few years: the groups helped pass momentous rent stabilization laws in 2019, Good Cause Eviction in 2024, and led a campaign to freeze the rent for the city’s rent stabilized tenants last fall that helped propel Mayor Zohran Mamdani to City Hall.

“What was so powerful about the rent freeze campaign is that we reached scale in New York City,” said Sumathy Kumar, the groups' new director. She replaces Cea Weaver, a tenant advocate who left the post to lead the Mamdani's Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants.

“We’re going to build off of that to keep tenant power at the top of people’s minds,” Kumar said in an interview with City Limits.
