The latest proposal on the table in Albany would mandate Good Cause protections in NYC, but other municipalities could opt in.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.New York state lawmakers are considering a plan to bolster tenant protections in New York City and extend an expired tax break for developers as part of a last-ditch effort to salvage a deal on housing policy, according to people with knowledge of the proposal.
It’s not clear whether the latest proposal has enough support for passage before the end of the state’s legislative session, which is scheduled to end this week. It’s also unclear whether Gov. Kathy Hochul would support the emerging proposal. State legislators cautioned that the proposal was still fluid, with several key provisions — including metrics that would determine the strength of the tenant protections — still in flux.

“Housing is a human right, and we need to stand united and get it done now,” Sen. Robert Jackson said at the rally Monday. “No B.S. Don’t mess around. You mess around with peoples’ lives when you do that.”
