New York City Renters Score Major Victory: Rent Freeze Implemented In a significant move, the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) has voted to freeze rents for both rent-stabilized and market-rate apartments in New York City, a decision that is being hailed as a major win for tenants and advocates like Assemblymember Yuh-Line Niou, who has been a vocal critic of rising rents. The rent freeze, which is set to take effect on July 1, marks a departure from previous years when the RGB had allowed modest rent increases. The decision comes as rents in the city continue to skyrocket, with many tenants struggling to afford their apartments. With this freeze, thousands of renters can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that their rent will remain unchanged for the next year.
