""Eric Adams raised my rent," it read. "Zohran will freeze it.""
""Tenants are the majority in New York. In June, we sent a clear message to the real estate industry: you can't buy this city. Tonight, tenants beat back millions to prove it again,""
""We are ready to freeze the rent with the mayor-elect.""
""We are at a pivotal moment. New York City faces a severe affordability crisis that no Mayor can solve alone,""
Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election with a promise to freeze rents, drawing more than one million votes and benefiting from turnout above two million. Renters comprise 69 percent of New York City households, with roughly two million living in rent-stabilized apartments who would be affected by a proposed freeze. Stabilized tenants faced four consecutive rent increases under the outgoing mayor. These households have a median income of $60,000 and 46 percent are rent-burdened; more than half of all city renters meet that definition. Tenant advocates celebrated the victory while building owner groups warned of risks to stabilized housing stock.
