Overview
• Mayor Mamdani commits to advocating for state legislation that would apply rent stabilization rules to all newly constructed housing in New York City.
• Rent stabilization currently applies only to certain buildings, and the proposal would extend regulated lease protections beyond existing programs such as Mandatory Inclusionary Housing.
• Mamdani’s policy proposal frames universal rent stabilization as a way to ensure new housing provides stable, regulated leases rather than market-rate tenancy.
