New York's rent stabilization law recently faced a challenge from a group of landlords, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the law's amendments. These amendments, part of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act, empower local municipalities to declare a housing emergency and opt for rent stabilization if vacancy rates fall to 5% or less. The changes require landlords to disclose additional information, reinforcing local authorities’ ability to manage housing issues effectively amidst growing concerns about rental affordability.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled against landlords contesting changes to New York’s rent stabilization law, upholding stricter informational requirements.
