Posted by The Rent Guidelines Board has approved a nearly 4 percent hike for rent-stabilized apartments in the city, affecting some 1.1 million apartments by 3.75 percent for one-year renewals and 7.25 percent for two-year contracts, the New York Daily News reported. The hikes will take effect October 1.
“It’s very disappointing,” said Jesse Duperon, who lives in a rent-stabilized unit in the East Village. “They’re turning their backs on the New Yorkers that stood through the crisis of 9/11.”
The increases are more substantial than those of the past two years, the Daily News said. Last October, the board approved increases of 2.25 percent for one-year lease renewals and 4.5 percent for two-year deals.
There some good news for tenants: The board vetoed a 1 percent surcharge for oil-heated buildings to compensate owners for rising prices.

If only we had a Governor who let the so called same sex “marriage” bill fail and protected tenants from a rent increase but this idiot Governor is the worst of both worlds.
