Black Agenda Radio · New York Rent Protections Under Attack by Landlords and the Supreme Court

Leah Goodridge is a tenants’ rights attorney, a writer, and a member of New York City’s City Planning Commission. She joins us from New York to discuss the latest effort by landlords to do away with New York’s system which regulates rents on thousands of apartments. The United States Supreme Court has previously declined to hear these cases but the latest attempt is led by Randy Mastro, who mayor Eric Adams has nominated to head the city’s Law Department. We’ll discuss the ongoing attack on rent protections.
