By
Mihir Zaveri
Summary
New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-to-1 to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments, fulfilling a key campaign promise by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The freeze applies to both one- and two-year leases and covers over 40% of apartments across all five boroughs, including luxury high-rises, affordable subsidized units, and older walk-ups. The move represents a major policy win for Mamdani six months into his tenure and could position New York City as a model for rent control.
