Don't Evict New York Campaign The rent laws are up for renewal in 2011 and we expect that there will be a renewed media attack on rent regulation. So Tenants & Neighbors is launching a public education campaign about why New York needs rent regulation. Our message is that rent regulation benefits all New Yorkers, whether or not you live in a rent regulated apartment, and that we all need to join together to defend, strengthen, and expand New York's supply of rent regulated housing. Here are the first four fact sheets we have developed as part of this campaign: FAQ about Rent Stabilized Housing Rent Regulation Protects Tenants Myths and Facts about Rent Stabilized Housing We Are Losing Our Rent Stabilized Housing T&N Has Developed A Predatory Equity Glossary Tenants & Neighbors has developed a predatory equity glossary, which provides explanations of the technical terms commonly used in discussions about possible policy and legislative solutions to the problem of overleveraging. The idea for this glossary came out of the Predatory Equity Working Group, a citywide coalition that Tenants & Neighbors coordinates of tenant leaders from overleveraged buildings who are working together to identify and implement strategies for fighting back against predatory equity.
