Immigrant Tenants in Queens Join Their Allies in State and Local Government to Call for the Repeal of Vacancy Decontrol

Immigrant Tenants in Queens Join Their Allies in State and Local Government to Call for the Repeal of Vacancy Decontrol

Hundreds of immigrant tenants from Queens and Brooklyn will rally outside a building for the repeal of vacancy decontrol and the preservation of rent regulation. Tenants will be joined by State Senator Hiram Monserrate, State Assemblyman Jose Peralta, and Councilwomen Julissa Ferreras to call for the swift passage of S2237-A. This rally is part of the series "Vacancy Decontrol Hurts Us All" rallies that are happening where tenants will be joined by State Senators to repeal vacancy decontrol.

Tenants will draw attention to the impact of deregulation on all of New York's boroughs and low-income tenants.

Queens's residents face rising rents, falling wages, and overcrowded homes. Many rents have already crossed the decontrol threshold, leaving new tenants without protection against rent hikes and baseless evictions. Without repealing vacancy decontrol, we will see tens of thousands of apartments in Queens removed from rent regulation in the coming years. This will exacerbate the already intense housing crisis. Repealing vacancy decontrol will protect affordable housing in Queens for generations to come.

WHEN: April 18, 11:00 AM

WHERE: 94-05 35th Avenue, Elmhurst, NY
7 Train to 90th St/Roosevelt

WHO: State Senator Hiram Monserrate, State Assemblyman Jose Peralta, and City
Council Member Julissa Ferreras;
Hundreds of Tenants from Make the Road New York and other community
organizations (AAFE, Chhaya CDC, Hermanas Mirabal, New York Immigration
Coalition, Queens Community House, Queens Congregation United for Action,
Queens Vantage Tenant Council, and Woodside on the Move).
