The 2015 Rent Guidelines Board Increase

Print Print

On Monday, June 29, 2015 the New York City Rent Guidelines voted to secure rent on all lease renewals for tenants living in a rent-stabilized apartment beginning on October 1, 2015. Rent-stabilized tenants should only see a maximum 2% increase on two-year lease renewals, which provides meaningful rent security, and a 0% increase on one-year lease renewals.  

For the 1.2 million New Yorkers who live in a rent-stabilized apartment, this is what the Rent Guidelines Board vote means for you: 

  • If you sign a one-year renewal on your lease between 10/1/2015 and 9/30/2016, your rent should not increase.
  • If you sign a two-year renewal on your lease between 10/1/2015 and 9/30/2016, your rent should increase no more than 2%.

If your landlord is not following the Board’s rules or you are facing any sort of harassment, call 311 immediately to receive help.
