RENTERS RISING
A campaign to win tenant protections in the Mid-Hudson Valley.
Good Cause Eviction
WHAT ARE GOOD CAUSE PROTECTIONS?
Guaranteed lease renewals: Rest easy knowing your lease or month-to-month tenancy renewal is guaranteed unless the landlord has a good cause to evict
Challenge large rent increases: Force landlords to justify rent hikes more than 10% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) + 5%, whichever is lower.
Protection from unjustified evictions: Landlords can’t evict without a ‘Good Cause,’ like nonpayment of rent or lease violations.
Mid-Hudson Valley cities currently covered: Beacon, Hudson, Kingston, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Village of New Paltz
Ongoing campaigns: Town of Poughkeepsie, Middletown
RENT STABILIZATION
WHAT IS RENT STABILIZATION?
Rent Stabilization is a system of regulating rent increases, instead of allowing individual landlords to set them.
Cities that adopt rent stabilization establish a Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) that sets the maximum allowable rate for rent increases in eligible apartments.
Cities currently covered: Kingston, Poughkeepsie
Ongoing campaigns: Newburgh
