An Airbnb user who never intends to leave. Tenants not paying enough rent to keep up buildings. A roommate temporarily renting a room who later decides not to move out.
Under the Legislature’s misleadingly named “Good Cause Eviction” bill, these occupants can all remain in their apartments forever and the property owner has virtually no recourse.
“No Eviction Ever” would be a better name for an absurdly vague, sweeping proposal that would place strict new limits on rent increases and evictions for nearly 1.6 million New York renters.

More evidence that if you reside in New York, you do not control your own destiny.
You are a tax slave, working to develop a foreign utopia in what was America
There is at least one of those types on our street. I ckd online, rent was more than double our mtg pmt. It sat for awhile too. Maybe company is banking on folks from CA or NY renting n thinking that rent is a steal!!
I bet the same people wouldn’t hesitate to evict a homeowner and steal their house if they get a little behind on property tax.
CoupFlu was NEVER about public health, was it.
Bet various Deep State’s, especially China’s, ate buying up all kinds of real estate st bargain prices.
And don’t get me started on the Ports America deal...
1. In the 1970s, old apartment buildings burned down all over the place, due to a curious phenomenon known as “Sicilian lightning.”
2. In the 1980s, there was a flood of conversions from apartment buildings to condominiums and co-ops.
All this did was make the remaining apartment inventory more expensive for renters.
Amazing. Government owned housing has been tried in NYC before. It ended horribly with all the tenements getting knocked down.
When I went to college in New Orleans in the mid-70’s some of the most heinous crime came out of a couple of tenements in the Parishes surrounding the city. I remember one extremely sick one where a little girl got abducted walking up the stairs to her upper apartment by a sick perv who repeatedly raped her and dismembered her body in his bathtub.
Never, ever vote for a self described liberal, progressive, dimocRAT or the worst of the lot…MODERATE REPUBLICAN. Trouble, trouble trouble!
So true. It’s been happening since Obama, this is why Michigan has a terrorist sympathizing brother loving incompetent congressthief representing Minneapolis and one just like it representing the Detroit area.
Biden continues this relocation of dimocRAT refugees into normal communities under the cover of darkness. (pun intended). It’s time for mayors and governors to follow Governor DeSantis’ lead and stop this infiltration of undesirables by a corrupt group of feds.
NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) is often in the news because many of the buildings are in horrible shape and crime-ridden. I watched an interview a couple of years ago where an older black women was standing outside a new gubmint housing project complaining that they were filling it with Asians while she was in the same dump in which she had lived for decades; the sense of entitlement that she should be able to live in one of the most expensive areas in the country at all was lost on her.
NYC is a dozen miles east of me; closer to home, Newark NJ has already demolished projects built decades ago and replaced them with “low-rises”, which is easier to police and thins out the population (much less capacity). Former residents of the big tenements whined into cameras that they had no place to go; they accepted no responsibility at all for their living arrangements. The dependence is complete, and disturbing; the Founding Fathers prevented people like this from voting with good reason. If they contribute nothing to the common pot, they should have no say in how it is spent.
These projects prevent any meaningful investment in or rehabilitation of cities, plain and simple; none has really recovered from the riots and looting of 50 years ago.
Job openings at the fire departments!
Methinks that professional arsonists will soon be in demand in New York.
I recall years ago appearing to appeal 9 tickets for rental inspection failures although the work was completed, but three days late. I was ordered to pay $450. At the same meeting an old high school friend who got a $40,000. grant to fix up two 1 bedroom apartments. I told them that I would pay the $450. if they would assure me that the other person personally got the money. All laughed in the room, and then one commissioner said, “I guess that isn’t funny.” I made arrangements to go to jail for 45 days even though I was a court officer. Ultimately, the tickets were dismissed. The ticket writer still won’t address me when we meet. That was 35 years ago. Pricks.
Yes. That is exactly what all this crap is about - the destruction of private property rights.
You know that this was the original goal. It was never about a virus. It was an opportunity for the radicals to destroy the free market economy base of our society. They always hated private property. They always wanted to seize it and redistribute it. The virus gave them an excuse that many people, but not me, believed.
Sadly, we are at the point where for America to prosper, places like New York City will have to suffer
I feel very sorry for anyone thinking that Republicans, even RINOs, are no better than the crap that Democrats continue to throw at this country, to DESTROY our society.
Here is just ONE MORE example. They will NEVER stop, as long as they have the power. Literally, NEVER stop.
Well, here in PA, if you are a landlord and the lease says the tenant pays utilities and is responsible for repairs, you'd better have a low IQ tenant. Otherwise, the lease is only good until the water bill is due or the toilet is clogged. Then, if the tenant can't, won't, or doesn't pony up, the city pounces on you. You get threatened with daily fines. Meanwhile it takes months to get the tenant out and he doesn't have to pay you one cent. There's a good chance you'll be ordered to pay him for his suffering.
Now, if you don't have a lease -- you have an unwritten lease and the city gets to tell you the terms and they're always in favor of the tenant. Basically a distinction without a difference.
Landlording is an extreme sport. A very risky way to make not a lot of profit.
For the profit it gets, I could buy a house every four weeks, and flip it owner fi. With none of the risk of rental.
And to get rid of President Trump
COVID removed the last excuses for companies to lease office space instead of having employees work remotely. Companies that do bring employees in to the office are shifting to a seat-hopping model that requires far fewer desks.
Albany is soon going to look like Detroit’s abandoned buildings.
