New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has fulfilled a key campaign promise by enacting a rent freeze for approximately 1 million tenants in rent-stabilized apartments. The Rent Guidelines Board, controlled by Mamdani's appointees, voted to freeze rents for both one- and two-year leases. This decision is seen as a significant victory for tenants seeking relief from high housing costs, though landlord groups warn of potential negative impacts on property maintenance and increased costs for non-stabilized units.
