The residents of Cayuga Gardens Apartments, formerly known as Chestnut Hill Apartments, are grappling with an uncertain future after receiving non-renewal notices on February 17. The notices, issued by the new owner, Delaware-based company WW Ithaca LLC, mandate that all tenants vacate their homes by May 29. This development has sparked widespread distress among the tenants of the 60-unit affordable housing complex.

Thousands of New York City tenants gained a new legal right to challenge rent hikes, plus new protections from evictions in April under the state’s Good Cause eviction law. But finding out if you are protected by Good Cause is no simple task Good Cause eviction is essentially what it sounds like: Your landlord needs a good reason to evict you. If you’re covered, the law also gives you the right to challenge a rent increase of above 8.82 percent in court—and more bargaining power when negotiating a lease renewal. (So if your monthly rent is $3,000, you could fight a rent increase of more than $3,264.60). But Good Cause doesn’t apply to every market-rate tenant in NYC. Roughly 61,000 buildings are covered under the law, according to openigloo, an apartment listing and review platform. Brooklyn holds the largest number of protected buildings, at 22,319, followed by Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, according to openigloo data. One simple way to see if Good Cause applies to your unit is to search your address on the apartment listing and review platform openigloo, or you can do your own research to check if your building is covered.

🚨 #OURHOUSEEVERYONE week of action 🏠 here in NY! 🚨 First summer 🌞🏠 Action!? Governor Hochul prioritizes landlords and developers over tenants, favoring tax breaks and rent hikes over tenant rights. We demand real solutions for our housing crisis, including Green Social Housing! Join us in pushing for legislative leaders to enact meaningful change.

Many New York City market-rate tenants scored new protections from eviction and big rent hikes on Saturday, thanks to policies passed in the state budget. After years of debate, state legislators passed a Good Cause eviction law—which means a landlord must have a good reason to evict a market-rate tenant, and is required to justify raising a tenant’s rent by more than a certain threshold. (Previously, a landlord didn’t have to justify a rent increase or why they didn’t renew a market rate tenant’s lease). The hotly debated policy gives market-rate renters a legal way to challenge an “unreasonable” rent increase, defined as more than 10 percent, or 5 percent plus the consumer price index (a measure of inflation), whichever is lower. It’s a significant slate of new rights for NYC renters, though it’s difficult to tell which renters are protected given a handful of notable exemptions to the law. Those not covered by Good Cause protections include: ⭕ Tenants in rental units in condo and co-op buildings ⭕ Those in rent-regulated apartments (who already have additional tenant protections) ⭕ Renters living in units built after 2009 ⭕ Those already paying more than 245 percent of the fair market rent for an apartment (more than about $6,000 a month for a one-bed in NYC) ⭕ Units owned by small landlords (those who own no more than 10 apartments in the state) ⭕ an owner who lives in their own building, which holds less than 10 units Click the link in our bio for what you need to know about Good Cause, and how you can find out if you’re covered by the new law. #goodcauseeviction #goodcause #evictionnyc #nycrentertips
#GoodCauseEviction made it into this year’s NY State Budget, but the new law leaves some New York City tenants without protections ensuring lease renewals and preventing unreasonable rent increases.

We recently submitted a letter to the Buffalo News regarding the "good cause" eviction bill and why lawmakers must reject it, read why on our blog and join the conversation. https://rondinellire.com/2024/04/18/lawmakers-must-reject-good-cause-eviction-bill/ #goodcauseeviction #buffalonewsopinion
What's going on ? #GoodCauseEviction
Join us in urging Albany lawmakers to oppose "good cause" eviction proposals in the State Budget negotiations. Instead, let's push for measures like the New York First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account Program to incentivize affordable housing construction and support future homeowners. NYSAR opposes restricting rent increases and automatic lease renewals for tenants - let's focus on solutions that will truly address the housing crisis in our state. #NYSAR #AffordableHousing #goodcause #goodcauseeviction #homeowners #leases #leasing #affordablehomes #Housingequality #fairhousing #nyhomeowners #nyrealestate #nyrealtors #realtors #realestate #nyrealestatelaws #nyaffordablehousing #nygoodcauseeviction #hudsonvalleyrealestate #hudsonvalleyrealtors #hudsonvalleyhousing #hudsonvalleyaffordablehousing #ulstercountyboardofrealtors #ulstercountyrealestate #ulstercountyrealtors
State lawmakers have reached “a conceptual agreement” on New York’s $237 billion budget, including additional eviction protections for market-rate renters and a new development tax credit, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Monday. Hochul’s announcement managed to disappoint both landlord and tenant advocates on two key issues: Good Cause eviction and the replacement of the 421-a tax incentive for affordable housing development. Hochul couched the plan as the “parameters of a conceptual agreement” in her announcement, and it’s still a little light on details. It also comes two weeks after the budget was due on April 1st. Both landlord and tenant groups slammed the deal. The tenant advocacy coalition Housing Justice for All claimed that carve-outs to Good Cause eviction would exclude millions of tenants from eviction protection. At the same time, the president of real estate trade association the Real Estate Board of New York said Good Cause poses "significant new risks for owners, developers and funders."

The GOOD News: The Good Cause Eviction Bill finally passed last week. Now the BAD News: The market rate apartment rent cap is still being discussed, and it’s hovering at a bleak 10% or 8.8%. In NYC’s hyper-inflated rental market that still means huge rent increases. Tell your assembly member you want real change. Find them at nyassembly.gov.

❌ There is no proof of a rise in " #squatting" — a term too-often used to mean "tenant I can't easily evict in 3 days." There is plenty proof, however that certain special interests are terrified of renters having any power in the landlord-tenant relationship. Don't buy it!

Every time I go to @rebny, I either get told to leave or arrested. I really don’t like @rebny. Pass #goodcauseeviction, the Tenant Opportunty to Purchase Act and fully fund the Housing Access Voucher Program!
Passing #goodcauseeviction is the MINIMUM leadership in Albany can do to keep neighbors and communities together. Proud to stand with tenants, @housingjustice4all, and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams today for housing justice and against the corrupting influence of big real estate. New Yorkers can’t wait. We need: Good Cause, Tenant opportunity to purchase, Right to Counsel, Green Social Housing, Housing Access Voucher Program, and NO ROLLBACKS to rent stabilization. ✊🏽
It’s become almost impossible to afford to live in New York because of real estate greed. @REBNY’s jacking up rents, gutting rent stabilization, and trying to block a housing package so they can keep getting richer. It’s time for state leaders to stand with us and fight back. @govkathyhochul @andreastewartcousins @cheastie PASS #GoodCauseEviction and #StatewideRTC THIS YEAR and DEFEND RENT STABILIZATION!!

🔍 One way to spot a made up moral panic meant to benefit the rich? Elon Musk starts obsessing over it. As the #housingcrisis becomes harder to ignore & tenants win desperately needed protections, the far-right & big real estate try to divert attention to sensationalized stories about “squatters” taking advantage of “tenant friendly” laws… But don’t be fooled: every city gets called “tenant friendly” by those who profit when renters have fewer protections from rent gauging, wrongful evictions, poor conditions, or their landlords’ every whim. With half of all US tenants rent-burdened, we need more, not fewer protections. . . . . #tenantsrights #squattersrights #elon #elonmusktweets #elonmusk #renterpower #rentersrights #renterprotections #tenantprotections #rentcontrol #justcauseforeviction #justcauseeviction #goodcauseeviction #nocauseeviction #therentistoodamnhigh #evictionmoratorium #evictionprevention #evictiondefense #rentburden

This week, hundreds of tenants and housing advocates descended on the Capitol in Albany, calling for lawmakers to pass renter protections this session, including “good cause” eviction legislation. Link in bio. Story & photos by @cpjanaro. #albany #newyork #goodcause #goodcauseeviction

The rent is too damn high! Stood w/ @maketheroadact @housingjustice4all to show some #tenantpower w/ 1,000+ tenants. We called for: ✅ #GoodCauseEviction ✅Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act #TOPA ✅ Housing Access Voucher Program #HVAP ✅ Legalize basement apartments ❌ No rollbacks on rent stabilization
We must pass #GoodCauseEviction this session! NYC evictions are up and rents are up. Good cause will protect tenants from unreasonable rent hikes & discriminatory or retaliatory evictions. Housing is a human right.
Another powerful Tenants’ Know Your Rights training today! Thanks to all who joined and canvassed to get the word out.

This is exactly why #NY NEEDS #GoodCauseEviction It’ll not only #Save63Tiffany but also thousands of families that are being forced from their homes, out of their communities due to nothing more than greed. Expenses have not gone up 40% but if the landlord can prove that his/her expenses have gone up then under #GoodCause they’ll be able to raise the rent as long as they can prove it. This bill doesn’t seek to hurt anyone & even exempts small #landlords but it does prevent these greedy landlords from these ridiculous & unreasonable #GreedFlation rent increases. It’s just not right and too many tenants are suffering as a result. 😡 Check @housingjustice4all’s website for more details on #GoodCauseEviction and other initiatives like #PassTOPA, #SocialGreenHousing, etc that’ll keep NY #affordable for #WorkingFamilies Is a 40% rent increase reasonable?

Shoutout to @bk_reader for their excellent coverage of our #GOODCAUSE: #RightToRemainRally with @housingjustice4all. At the rally @cssnyorg released their insightful new data driven report “No Good Cause, No Rent Pause: In the Wake of Government Inaction, Rents Keep Rising” by Samuel Stein, Oksana Mironova, Iziah Thompson which clearly illustrates why #NY needs #GoodCauseEviction ASAP. Due to our lawmakers inaction rents have continued to rise at unprecedented levels and this report also debunks the landlords’ myth that these rent rises afe necessary to reinvest in the properties, which they’re clearly NOT doing. They’re just lining their pockets, it’s #GreedFlation in its worst form! #PassGoodCause Now!!! ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 #HousingJusticeForAll #HousingJustice #PassTOPA #PassCOPA #GreenSocialHousing #RightToCounsel #DefendRTC #StatewideRTC #CommunityLandTrusts #CLTs
Thank you all! You’re AMAZING! #Save63Tiffany started out of desperation of losing the place we’ve called home for 30 years. It was a cry for help, a form of rebellion against an unjust system that we felt was failing us. That after 30 years of paying our rent on time, building up this area, that was NOT what it is now, into a beautiful vibrant community we were on the verge of being forced out to make way for wealthy tenants. In that desperation and feeling isolated & frankly weak we decided to empower ourselves and fight back, but fight with love. We felt maybe if enough people heard our screams, learned of our struggle we can get some help, some allies to fight alongside us. What we never expected was just how caring and supportive our neighbors from the community, our elected officials and the housing Justice community would be and to be frank it’s been humbling and overwhelming. I’ve always said I love my community in fact my exact saying has always been, “We’re blessed to live on the best block in the greatest neighborhood in the world!” but we were never sure if it loved us back, the way we loved it, but now I can say with confidence that the answer is a resounding YES! The way this community has rallied behind us is just amazing. Thank you all! From @verti our neighbor from across the street who supports all our online outreach & actually took the day off work just to join us! Or Leah from next door who is there front center whenever we need her, there’s just so many people I can thank but just know I appreciate you all!!! Love my neighbors. The elected officials have been so amazing to us! In no particular order thank you to our champions 🏆@joannesimonforbrooklyn @shahanafrombk @nyccomptroller @brad.lander @sen_gounardes & their staff @alli_mingus @nkrisht @mia419 @carlos_calzcp7 & The nonprofits who have helped us or guided us @cga_npc @swbktenantunion #TakerootJustice @housingjustice4all @righttocounselnyc @neweconomyproject @u.h.a.b @fifthavenuecommittee @hillary_caldwell @johnkrinsky @plantxchange @nyc_connectingthedots @hope_organizers & friends like @jacqui.painter @ind_brooklyn & @bkcb6 & I’ve run out of characters, love yall all! 🙏
John Leyva, tenant organizer at 63 Tiffany Place in Brooklyn NY. John has lived in the building for 29 years with his son, who is autistic. For 29 years, John has helped build a real community not just in his building, but in the entire neighborhood overall. Right now, John is facing eviction and his fellow tenants have been harassed because the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) agreement expired early last year. Legislations such as Good Cause Eviction can help folks like John to stay in the neighborhood where he built a strong, self sustaining community that can help him raise his son. #goodcauseeviction #tenantorganizing #organizing #renter #newyorkcitylife #newyorkcity #nyc
Legislators are considering passing a version of #GoodCauseEviction that leaves out upstate tenants. This is unacceptable - and speaks to the fact that very few of our elected leaders actually know what it feels like to be at risk of eviction. I do. That's why I'm running for Assembly - to fight for families like mine.
Let's be clear: There's an upstate housing crisis, and we need #GoodCauseEviction just as much as NYC. We reject any version of Good Cause with opt-ins or carveouts. @jamesskoufis @michellehincheynysenate @didibarrett106 @eachusad99 @cheastie @andreastewartcousins: Your tenant constituents demand you pass the Good Cause Eviction bill as written!
Today is the day. Come join us!!! 12pm at 63 Tiffany Place!!! #GoodCause: #RightToRemain Rally! New York needs #GoodCauseEviction now!!! Let’s let @govkathyhochul & the rest of #Albany hear our roar!!! 📣
Read our new housing statement that we’ve submitted to the New York State Assembly Joint Legislative Budget Hearing on Housing. Link in bio 🔗 #goodcauseeviction #TOPA
We're quoted in a @nytimes article about the Hudson Valley housing crisis (and the policies we need to stop it)! A couple years ago, we fought for and won local Good Cause Eviction in 4 Hudson Valley cities. But landlords sued, and a judge ruled that only the state legislature has the authority to protect tenants from unjust evictions and extreme rent increases. It's time for politicians to act - Upstate New York needs #GoodCauseEviction NOW!
The @nytimes just published an article about the Hudson Valley housing crisis, highlighting the need for statewide Good Cause Eviction protections. As a lifelong Hudson resident and a lifelong renter, I'm so worried about being priced out of my hometown. That's why I'm running for Assembly - so that families like mine can afford to stay here. We need #GoodCauseEviction NOW!
#Greedflation has been going on in the rental industry almost since its inception! Check this out! An excerpt from “The Tenant Movement in New York City, 1904-1984”. “In the spring of 1904, several hundred residents of the Lower East Side, New York’s immigrant Jewish quarter, took to the streets in protest against their landlords and refused to pay their monthly rent. Property owners in the area, taking advantage of a decided shortage in rental housing, had recently increased tenement house rents by an additional 20 to 30 percent. But area residents, largely seasonal garment trade workers and small businessmen, could hardly afford the existing rent, which swallowed anywhere from one-quarter to one-third of their income, let alone an increment. “What is to become of the family whose sole breadwinner earns 60¢ a day and whose rent has been increased from $8.50 to $13 a month,” wondered one resident. Still another related that many Lower East Siders felt they “lived and worked for the landlord.”” This is nothing new and in fact has just gotten worse. While at that time rents were consuming “anywhere from one-quarter to one-third of their income” now studies say many New Yorkers are paying over half of their income in rent, often in these same old buildings that they were living in then! This has to stop! We cannot, we must not, allow the landlords to continue to abuse tenants this way! Support #GoodCauseEviction now! Please join us on Thursday February 22nd at 12 noon in front of our building, 63 Tiffany Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231. We will be having a “RIGHT TO REMAIN” Rally & Press Conference in support of GOOD CAUSE with Housing Justice For All & CCSNY will be releasing a report in favor of GOOD CAUSE at the event.

You know what would be a great article? WHERE THE WORST LANDLORDS (from @nycpublicadvocate’s list) LIVE & A BREAKDOWN OF HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE BY ABUSING THE TENANTS OF THIS CITY & HOW MUCH THEIR MANSIONS ARE WORTH? How about running that story @nypost? No you won’t write about that but you’re always doing the real estate lobby’s bidding with the smear campaigns against anyone that champions the people and goes against them. This is so stupid, but you can’t expect any better from Rupert Murdoch’s minions. Look at the description “Palatial” do they even know what that means? I’ll tell them “resembling a palace in being spacious and splendid”, it’s a one bedroom with an extra small room stupid!!! She’s lived there since 1985 so of course her rent is cheap, as it should be. Then they go on to say that she makes $142k a year well guess what with the crazy way this city is going right now, according to almost all the listings on #HousingConnect the city’s bullshit low income lottery system/sham she would qualify for most of the low income apartments with that salary! Don’t believe me go check it out, but you know that. You know this is stupid but when the boss puts out a hit you have to follow through no matter how stupid it is, right? @jonlevine293 you should be ashamed of yourself @lindabrosenthal_67 you’re doing great! You’re an awesome person who has championed the needs of the less fortunate & we appreciate you for it & will always have your back! We expect these dirty, underhanded, baseless smear campaigns from rags like the #NYPost at the behest of the Real Estate Lobby. You’re a CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE & we love you for it!!! 🏆 Wear these smear campaigns like a badge of honor!!! They only do this to those fighting for the people, you’ll never see a piece like this about #GovHochul ever wonder why???? Because she’s their puppet!!! That’s why!!! Let’s give them their worst nightmare & pass #GoodCauseEviction, #PassTOPA, #PassCOPA, #GreenSocialHousing, #StatewideRightToCounsel, #HAVP LET’S GO!!! ✊ No new #TenantProtections no new luxury buildings!!! Simple as that! And @govkathyhochul please remember #TenantsVote & won’t forget 😉
This nonsense really needs to stop!!! I have a lot of respect for @citylimitsnews & @eawhit but please, please, please, for the love of God stop feeding into this false narrative & using the worst case scenario pictures! 😡 This photo is NOT representative of what’s really going on & just feeds into the Real Estate Lobby’s propaganda. I invite you to come to my building #Save63Tiffany & take a look at the beautiful 5-6 apartments currently being warehoused, some for over 5 years, thats more representative of reality! And to make it more egregious under the #LIHTC agreement they, by law, were suppose to rent these apartments. There’s 5-6 families right now sitting in a shelter because of greed, plain & simple 😤. They’re warehousing apartments simply to make a point & hoping to pass their bill to circumvent Rent Stabilization laws, that’s the reality. But please let me also address that particular picture. So you mean to tell me that someone just moved out of that apartment? Why or how did that apartment get to that level of disrepair??? You mean that landlord had someone living under those conditions??? My point is that any apartment in that condition is the result of years of disrepair and neglect. It’s disgusting that any landlord forced a tenant to live under those conditions. Why was the previous tenant subjected to live like this? Isn’t that a better question to ask??? And proof that #Tenants need better, stronger #TenantProtections??? Tenants need: #GoodCauseEviction #PassTOPA & #PassCOPA #RightToCounsel #GreenSocialHousing To protect us from these landlords, or should I say #Slumlords that are abusing tenants like this. 🤬
We all know #RentIsTooDamnHigh but why? #GreedFlation! Because #Landlords have been allowed to raise rents indiscriminately & there’s no logical or financial reason. If the expenses of running the buildings really has gone up so much that the rent raise is justified this bill will allow the landlord to prove that in court. But they DON’T WANT THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T, it’s #greed at its worst & it’s effecting the whole #NY economy. Lifelong #NYers are being priced out and having to leave their homes. Younger generations can’t afford to move out of their parent’s homes, can’t pay for housing & student loans, financially crippled. Residents have less discretional income which affects their spending and the industries that depends on that money. Too many NYers are rent burdened paying 50% or more of their income on housing. #GoodCause is an extremely well thought out bill that won’t affect the small landlords, that generally do right by their tenants. And has been proven in other states, like our neighbors in #NJ, that it will not affect the building of new housing. It’s time that #NYS join other states around the country that have adopted #GoodCause and reap the benefits of it. #GoodCauseEviction protects tenants from unreasonable #rent hikes and retaliatory or discriminatory #evictions. Currently, when a lease expires for most #apartments or #homes in #NY, the #landlord can choose not to renew it for any reason and raise the rent as high as they want. As a result, #landlords can kick out #tenants even for patently unfair reasons - like retaliation for raising concerns about living conditions - and spike the rent. There have been growing reports of rent hikes as high as 30, 50, even 100 %. For many #WorkingFamilies, that kind of increase all but amounts to an #eviction. #GoodCause can help families stay in their homes, fight unfair rent increases and evictions, and keep our neighborhoods stable and safe. #NYS needs this commonsense, basic #TenantProtection! We call on @govkathyhochul to stand on side of the #WorkingClass & pass #GOODCAUSE. This would not only #Save63Tiffany but all tenants in this state! 💪
Power to the People: @amdelossantos72 at our Membership Meeting talking about the importance of passing the #NYHEAT Act, #GoodCauseEviction, & #LeadPaintRightToKnow Act.
The whole “affordable” housing lottery system is already a joke and only getting worse. Income requirements are as high $300k! Using AMI for eligibility is classist & racist & further promotes gentrification. It totally excludes those who need it most, namely the elderly & others on fixed income. This new policy of excluding members of the community, where the housing is being built, will just further those policies & lead to more gentrification of our neighborhoods. 🤬 But all this is by design. The only real solution for the future of affordable housing is to eliminate developers altogether, support #GreenSocialHousing ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 And support common sense tenant protections #GoodCauseEviction #PassTOPA #PassCOPA #SupportCLTs 💪 #WhenWeFightWeWin #OurHomesOurPower #NYCTenants #NYCHousing #HousingJusticeForAll #RightToCounsel #RentIsTooDamnHigh #NYC

This is so ridiculous! People are being #displaced through no fault of their own, torn from communities they helped build & now you can’t even give them the largely false hope (because there were so little available units available anyway it really didn’t matter) but just the principle that they would try to sell it as helping “to fight segregation”!!! 🤬. The audacity!!! What a crock of 💩! I guess we’re seeing the results of all the judges #Trump put in, because that’s the only explanation for such a misguided decision. If they really want to make it more equitable & benefit the most in need they should stop using AMI (Average Median Income) as the determining factor! That causes more segregation than this! I’ll use our issue at #Save63Tiffany as an example, we live in a 70 unit building. Most of us have lived here 30 years, since the building opened in 1994. The building’s #LIHTC agreement is expiring & now they will try to “displace” us so wealthier people, who can pay 3-4X what we’re paying can move in. We’re fighting & it’s an uphill battle. After living here for 30 years we’ve built a community here & love this area. This is all all my severely nonverbal autistic 15 year old son knows. If, or when, we get “displaced” (I hate that word it’s such a pretty word for evicted & homeless but I digress) it would be nice to be able to get an opportunity to continue living in the community we helped build. On the city’s Housing Connect it’s only be a small percentage of the overall units anyway. Btw, have you checked Housing Connect lately? Some of the apartments’ income eligibility goes up to as high as $300k a year! AMI is wrong & creates more segregation! It’s ridiculous. This ruling is so wrong!

Good Cause Eviction! From a guest essay in Newsday that was written by SPONY president Ann Korchak, 'a contingent of state legislators, predominantly based in New York City, have signaled their intent to push for so-called “good cause eviction.” This policy could create housing shortages, impose financial burdens, and disrupt local economies. Since good cause eviction has particularly severe consequences for college towns and their student populations, Long Island’s leaders in higher education and government must stand united against this policy in any statewide housing discussions.’ Ann has been a guest on the Do You Ever Wonder podcast in an episode titled, 'Have Small NYC Multifamily Owners Been Screwed By The System?’ Watch her commentary, along with a small landlord's experiences, using the link below. About a year ago we also had Alex Lycoyannis on the show, now a partner at Holland & Knight, who has been and remains firmly against this proposed legislation. His episode title 'Do You Ever Wonder About Good Cause Eviction?’ Can also be found using the link below. Ann’s full article can be found there as well. _____________________________________________ Remember, Do Your Due Diligence When It Concerns The Title Insurance For Your Real Estate Purchase In New York!

👎 It's the same story nationwide, but the solutions are within reach: #RentControl, robust tenant protections, and a massive investment in 🏠 #SocialHousing We can secure the fundamental human right to a dignified home if we organize for it & unite our struggles from door to door, building to building, city to city & state to state. . . . . #righttocounsel #californiahousing #nevadahousing #marylandhousing #oregonhousing #chicagohousing #cookcounty #homelessness #socialhousingnow #justcauseeviction #goodcauseeviction #rentstabilization #tenantpower #rentersrights #tenantsrights #housingjustice #evictionmoratorium #rentalassistance
