Mamdani's Rental Ripoff Report Piles 23 Rules On Landlords

The plan lets landlords screen tenants by income or credit, never both, and pushes tenant unions building by building.

  • Eric Kober details Mayor Mamdani's 23-point 'Rental Ripoff Report' targeting rental landlords.
  • Landlords may run an income check or a credit check, never both together.
  • City Hall would widen rent-withholding grounds and expand enforcement against noncompliant landlords.

Why it matters: None of the report's twenty-three rules adds a single apartment to a city short of them.
