What tenants need to know about NYC's rent freeze

WNYC News | Jun 29

Tenants in around a million rent stabilized apartments won’t see their rents increase for the next two years, after the city’s Rent Guidelines Board approved a rent freeze last week. What exactly does that mean for tenants?

Allia Mohamed co-founded Open-Igloo, a platform where tenants can find apartments from highly rated landlords. It also helps renters filter for rent-stabilized units across the city. She joins WNYC's Sean Carlson to talk about what tenants need to know about the rent freeze.
