Totally unacceptable--Saratoga courts have sided w/notorious LL Michael Giavanone, who keeps levying false claims against tenants so he can evict them & turn their homes into boat storage. @AMCarrieWoerner @TishJames what are you doing to protect them? timesunion.com/news/article/c…
Good cause laws are only controversial because they truly give tenants the power to fight for stable housing. The City of Albany was the first to pass a local law and we look forward to being the first to opt-into state law. We know we won’t be the last. timesunion.com/capitol/articl…
Did you know that seniors in NY have special rights, including the right to end your lease early if you are moving to senior housing?! Thanks to @AlbanyLaw for hosting Senior Citizens Law Day so we can tell Capital District seniors about their housing rights. 👵🏼🏠👴🏾
In 2022, Johnson v. Grants Pass found that governments couldn’t punish people for using rudimentary shelter from the elements if they were “involuntarily homeless.” Discover how San Francisco argued for more lenient policies and pushed to continue sweeps: bit.ly/3LuZ5W0
Proud to have hosted our first “RTC Road Show” at @AlbanyLaw last week as part of our our revived Tenant Attorney Pipeline initiative—building out the next generation of smart, passionate housing attorneys who will one day soon implement a statewide RTC for ALL new yorkers!
Tenant leaders from across our RTC movement are condemning the state budget, which included multiple giveaways to landlords, a severely watered down Good Cause Eviction, and NO Right to Counsel! Read our coalition's full statement on the budget: bit.ly/rtc2024statebu…

.@GovKathyHochul did not solve the housing crisis. Instead she pushed through a housing deal written by the real estate industry to ensure they keep getting richer off the backs of hardworking tenants. Our statement on the housing deal. housingjusticeforall.org/statement-hous…
As we all pour over @GovKathyHochul's #GoodCause bill: Remember it was originally a simple, 4-page bill creating a near-universal right to housing stability that millions of renters could exercise. Now it's a logistical nightmare written in page after page of crisp legalese.

@_rebeccaclewis This is objectively FALSE and missed the point that upstate renters matter too. The divide & conquer upstate/downstate strategy is tired, & the Senate Leader & Assembly Speaker should know better than to attempt it! #VoteNO @housing4allNY
What about upstate? Do the tenants in upstate no matter?
What about upstate? Do the tenants in upstate no matter?
Also, good cause was supposed to grant tenants without a lease the same protections as those with one. More than 44% of tenants UTA worked with in 2023 don't have a lease. This is just another way to prevent tenants from using/understanding this protection 😡

What about the hundreds of upstate tenants who have no lease? Don’t those tenants matter? And for those who do have a lease, what if the unit counts change over the course of the lease? It seems like @GovKathyHochul has not fully thought this portfolio size through.

Victor & tens of thousands of other NY tenants face eviction each year without the fundamental right to legal representation. @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie you could keep so many NYers in their homes with #StatewideRTC!! What are you waiting for?
amazing👏👏 now we need a right to counsel for ALL NYers who must take their landlords to court to secure safe, dignified housing. @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie: we need #RTC to enforce laws that are meant to protect us and that LLs are routinely breaking!

amazing👏👏 now we need a right to counsel for ALL NYers who must take their landlords to court to secure safe, dignified housing. @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie: we need #RTC to enforce laws that are meant to protect us and that LLs are routinely breaking!
On #NationalHaikuDay, a pointed poem: —— Housing Justice now Good Cause, not bad excuses The budget’s so late —— @housing4allNY
Hard to see the proposed good cause exemptions – especially the exemption for "small portfolios" – as anything other than an effort to make enforcing the law completely impracticable.
NEW @CityLimitsNews from @patrickspauster & myself: Viewed in isolation, a proposal to exempt small portfolios from good cause could exclude hundreds of thousands of NYC apartments. Perhaps more significantly, this type of estimate isn’t easy to make. citylimits.org/2024/04/17/goo…
.@GovKathyHochul on @BrianLehrer is claiming she's protecting tenants. According to our analysis, her #GoodCause will exclude AT LEAST 3.4 million renters across our state. @GovKathyHochul, why do you think these 3.4 million renters don't deserve protections?
