I’ve had some people comment on my posts something like “Those tenants have rats and leaks because the rent is cheap—gotta pay higher rent!” Um, no. Even in neighborhoods with trendy aesthetics and high rent, you can’t escape housing exploitation. Case in point:

Congress has more landlords than tenants. No wonder they serve the people raising our rent instead of paying it. In NY-7, 77% of us are tenants. I'll fight for universal rent control, affordable homes, and full funding for NYCHA. Housing is a human right, not a commodity.

Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work “It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents have gone up even faster for the average person, except for the few lucky ones in subsidized housing” “Units go untouched and aren’t maintained at all. I think something like 10-20% of rent controlled units in New York are empty because they can’t be brought up to standard, since it’s not worth investing in. In Massachusetts, rent control was a complete disaster and had to be repealed. In San Francisco, the moment they introduced it, permitting dropped. It just hasn’t worked”

Mamdani wants to fine landlords who can’t immediately fix “dangerous conditions”, and if the city has to step in and make the repairs, they’ll take over the building if the landlord can’t pay them back. Except Mamdani is also pushing for a rent freeze, and most landlords rely on rent increases to pay for those repairs. So if they can’t raise rent and can’t afford to repay the city, they lose their buildings. That’s how you slowly turn private property into government housing. Call it what it is: a step toward communism. 👇

Cea Weaver on rent-stabilized tenants as a voter block: "So like you said, there are about 2.4 million people who live in rent-stabilized apartments in New York City. And, you know, tenants really could be a difference maker in this mayoral election... Rent-stabilized tenants are a multiracial, multi-generational block of voters. They are not, we're not just talking about, you know, progressive young people. We're not just talking about people who are already politicized. We're talking about a potentially enormous working class voter block who are with us, because right now they're being forced to choose between childcare or groceries or healthcare, staying in New York at all. Right? Um, so the importance of a rent freeze is not just about the rent, it's also about bringing working class people back, um, into it's civic, civic engagement."

People can’t afford to eat or make rent. On top of that, we pay more in taxes than we do in food, clothing, and housing COMBINED. Welcome to the golden age people!! 🤑🤡

Landlord says Oregon Democrats have made it impossible to evict tenants She says the tenants don’t pay rent and they can even change the locks on the doors so owners can’t get in “Do you guys know that in Oregon it's virtually impossible to evict a tenant in your property if they don't pay rent? Or if they even I've heard stories of them changing the lock so the owner can't get into the house. I'm just leaving the Multnomah County Courthouse for the 4th time because the tenant that lives in my one little rental house that I don't have a property manager for because I've never needed one because nice people have lived there. I filed another non payment of rent notice with this tenant — The only time he pays rent is when I have a sheriff post on his door that we're going to court and then he pays it before the court date. So then we just start the process all over again. I can't get him out.”

Thomas Sowell on why rent control is so damaging: “If rent control is severe, people either reduce the amount of housing they build or they stop building housing altogether.” “Political authorities are then confronted with a situation where there’s no new housing built and the old housing is wearing out—usually faster under rent control because the landlords don’t have to keep it up as much.” “So they step in and have some kind of modification. They say, ‘We are trying to protect the poor, so we won’t regulate luxury housing.’” “Of course, luxury housing and ordinary housing use much the same labor and the same materials. Therefore, all the materials that would have otherwise gone into making ordinary housing go into building luxury housing.”

INSANE 🚨 - 32% of public housing in New York City is occupied by people born outside of the United States - 44% of rent-stabilized apartments in New York City are also going to people born outside of the US - 88% of public housing in New York City is occupied by Blacks and Hispanics “88%… I mean, I can't even believe they provided these numbers. Like, and they have to be baking them, right? These have to be modest numbers for New York. This is just straight-up suicidal. And of course, everyone on the left wants you to think that white people don't pay their fair share.” - Imagine the drop in rent prices if 32% of public housing was reclaimed from foreigners through deportations - Imagine the drop in rent prices if 44% of rent stabilized apartments went to Americans instead of foreigners

Journalist: You have iPhone. But you are still living in slums. Why don't you live in a better place and pay rent? Abdul: My life, my choice. Why should we pay rent when we can build Jhuggi wherever we want? This is the mentality of Abduls living in illegal slums. I have also seen Jhuggis with ACs. You work hard and pay taxes to buy a 2BHK flat and these people build a jhuggi wherever they want.

For millions of New Yorkers living in rent-stabilized apartments, this is a major victory. For the first time in years, tenants won’t see their rent increase while everything else continues to get more expensive. I support the rent freeze. Working people deserve relief. But there’s another side to this conversation. Many landlords argue that insurance, taxes, labor, and repair costs continue to rise. If those costs aren’t addressed, the concern is that some owners may defer maintenance, creating more deteriorating buildings and more pressure on housing quality. The real question isn’t whether tenants deserve relief. They do. The question is whether New York can protect tenants and keep buildings properly maintained. #nyc #ny #fyp #mta

Americans are losing it over the cost of living. Woman is screaming in her car because she can’t afford rent even with roommates, she can’t afford a home and everything is so expensive She saying life is so expensive it’s getting to a point you can’t even leave your house. I bet millions of Americans feel this exact same way Something MUST be done about the cost of living crisis, especially the cost of rent

Los Angeles tenants get extremely frustrated because if their roommate stops paying rent, there is basically nothing they can do but cover the rent for them “My roommate hasn't paid rent in months, and today rent is due, and she once again told me she didn't have it. If you live in LA, you know you cannot kick out your roommates. There's like squatter protections. She ate my leftovers, so I had to go to the grocery store so I could buy groceries and make myself something to eat” For those that don’t know, it can take YEARS to get rid of a bad roommate or tenant in Los Angeles California passed tenant protections that make it nearly impossible to remove someone even for nonpayment. Even squatters are protected The courts are so backed up the cases can take 6 months before even starting the process in front of a judge

The rent in Providence is too high and we need real solutions to bring down costs for families. And I understand why rent control sounds compelling, but the reality is that it has consistently been shown to hurt those it is meant to help. In Cambridge, in Berkeley, in Portland, in St. Paul and more, rents actually went up under rent control and new construction plummeted. My plan provides direct rent relief now and lowers costs long-term through continued new construction. I look forward to working with the City Council to continue addressing the root cause of our housing shortage and bring down costs for all our neighbors.

'This is not living, it's just existing.' People living in Local Authority Housing in Dublin will see an increase in their rent, if they have working adult children living in the home. Dr Katriona O'Sullivan, who previously lived in social housing, and Kevin, who has a disability and currently lives in social housing with 2 children, speak with Andrea Gilligan about whether the new rent increases are fair.

You see some businesses in some high rental properties and you ask yourself if truly it is profit from this business that they use to pay for the rent and electricity bills. I see money laundering in disguise.
