Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie just confirmed that rolling back IAI reforms is on the table in the budget negotiations. This is unacceptable.
Read the full article here. The real estate industry is pushing for major rollbacks to OUR victories from 2019, in exchange for a watered-down version of Good Cause. We will not stand for that!
This housing deal is getting finalized in the next few days, so tenants need to make our voices heard.

Here's what to say when you call:
“Hi Assembly Member ______
I am a constituent and I just saw that Speaker Carl Heastie is willing to gut rent stabilization in the New York State budget. As a tenant I am shocked and angry.
I need you as my representative to make clear that tenants should NOT bear the costs of landlords' bad business practices.
We need to expand tenant protections to more people, not roll them back!
Can you tell the Speaker that rolling back the rights of rent-stabilized tenants is not acceptable to your constituents?
Instead, the legislature should pass statewide Good Cause and the Housing Access Voucher Program in this year’s budget.
Will you commit to fighting for an expansion of tenant protections and oppose any rollbacks to our rights?”
