The rent laws expired on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Tenants are protected by their leases, and the new rent law, whenever it's passed, will be retroactive. If you are harassed by Stellar, check the NYS HCR (which used to be "DHCR") protections, including a hot line at (855) 391-4526 and at rentlaws2011@nyshcr.org.
We need to hold out for a good deal, not just any deal. See the statement of our State Senator, Bill Perkins.

MESSAGE:
Tenants need stronger rent laws, which means
- repealing vacancy decontrol (not just raising the limit)
- putting into rent stabilization all buildings out of Mitchell-Lama
- regardless of when they were built
- regardless of when they were taken out of the program
- WITHOUT "unique or peculiar circumstances" increases. (The DHCR regulation is not enough to protect us!)
CALL or FAX TODAY to protect all our homes.
