""I love talking about rent, I love talking about housing and particularly as it relates to transparency," Mohamed told Brooklyn Paper. "I had horrible landlords that never picked up the phone when something went wrong despite me paying way too much rent on time every single month," she said. "That's how I found my perfect rent-stabilized apartment in Brooklyn that I've been in for the past eight years," she continued."

The Rent Transparency Act requires landlords to post notices in buildings that contain rent-stabilized apartments beginning Jan. 1. Openigloo is a Brooklyn-based startup launched in 2020 that helps renters research buildings, landlords and determine whether an apartment is rent-stabilized. Openigloo has supported more than three million New York City renters and provides listings plus filters for rent-stabilized and good-cause eviction-protected units. Posted notices in common areas should help current residents identify stabilized apartments and understand related rights. Direct tenant-to-tenant information and building research remain important tools for finding and keeping stable housing.
