"Rosalind Louis wears buttons saying, Rent hike? No thanks, and Freeze the rent on her hat."
"As they marched, the group chanted, Fight, fight, fight! Housing is a human right! and People, not profit!"
Over 100 participants rallied in the Bronx to urge the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) to implement a rent freeze for the city's 2.4 million rent-stabilized tenants before their public hearing on June 12. Various local advocacy groups were present, highlighting concerns over proposed rent increases of 1.75% to 4.75% for one-year leases and higher for two-year leases. Supporters argued that landlords' profits have been rising, while opponents, mainly property owners, warned that a freeze could lead to severe housing distress and instability.
