Tenants and lawmakers are set to urge the New York City Council to broaden protections against rent hikes, pushing for expanded exemptions to shield more residents from rising housing costs. The push comes amid growing concerns over affordability in the city’s rental market, where tenants already face financial strain. Advocates argue current exemptions are too narrow, leaving vulnerable households exposed to steep increases. The council’s decision could have significant implications for thousands of renters struggling to keep up with soaring prices.
