"Abuqare said that notice was given a year and a half in advance of the remodels..."

I guess 18 months isn't enough notice. How can the tenant act surprised in any way???

If his lease expired, and he doesn’t have a new one, what right does he have to be there at all?

They can publish a guide: How to make a tight rental market impossible.

they pay their rent but there's constantly issues

= social services pay their rent, and meanwhile they operate weed grows, crack houses, brothels, and guests break in to neighboring units.

I wonder why he’s uppin’ me? cause whitey is on the moon

So sick of this “tenant rights” garbage.

What about landlord rights?

What about just plain natural rights? You know, the right of people to handle their property the way they wish?

If you want more secure housing, buy, don’t rent. I can’t imagine wanting to be a renter.

Many folks are poor.
Just plain poor. Not bad people, drug addicts, criminals . . . Just poor.
Many are simply not competitive in the job market.
Where do they live? What do they eat?
When they get sick, how do they get help?

Places like “The Burgh” have been a mess for decades. Orange County dumps their problem cases there, and in Middletown. Goobermints Section 8 pays double or triple actual market value rents for the poor, for a time. Without that largess, rents would be lower.
And Taxes in NYS are beyond anything non-New Yorkers could even have nightmares about. Property owners are squeezed between low income folks, astronomical taxes and regulations, and political tribes on both sides that use the poor as fodder in their power struggle

Lots of areas are now filled with new immigrants of various legal standings.
The former cheap rents have tripled.
Landlords who benefited from years of Goobermint supported rents are booting the old renters and modifying to get the new rent groups.

Poor folks priced out. Rent Control laws kicked in in NY when tenants were being dragged out, and locked out of their units back in the 70’s.

Ending the flood of unregulated immigration will help restore some sanity to the Low Rent market.

What do we do for our Fellow Citizens that are poor?
