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
