The New York City Rent Guidelines Board will soon vote on proposed rent increases for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments, expected to mark the fifth consecutive year of hikes. Rising costs for landlords, including insurance and fuel, are cited as main factors. The average rent for stabilized apartments is significantly lower than market rates, making them crucial for city affordability. The board's decision is shaped by various economic factors and the mayor's stance, with larger increases noted under current Mayor Eric Adams compared to former Mayor Bill de Blasio's tenant-friendly policies.
