As New York City's rent-stabilized landscape continues to evolve, landlords who rely on these properties are facing a daunting financial reality. Rising costs, including increased property taxes and maintenance expenses, are squeezing profits for many rent-stabilized landlords, who are also capped in the amount they can charge tenants.
