With Rent Laws Expiring at Midnight, de Blasio Warns Landlords Not to Take Advantage

Mara Gay

With rent regulations set to expire at midnight, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio railed against the gridlock in Albany, saying hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers could lose their homes if lawmakers fail to act.

“It would mean for some people they literally would not be able to live in their apartments, they would not be able to live in their neighborhood,” Mr. de Blasio said on WCBS 880 Monday morning.

“Right now while they’re all disagreeing, this thing is counting down to midnight.”
