Plus 'I' pay for all the repairs and upgrades.

It's a dog and pony show. Pro Tenant RGB member, "No increase!"; Pro Landlord RGB member, "Ridiculously high increase!". The the rest vote in the middle. This year's rent increase was decided long before any of the hearings and the vote. As long as the RGB members are mayoral appointees, then we will never have fair rent increases!evflipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-37845762911589332462012-06-22T15:43:24.148-04:002012-06-22T15:43:24.148-04:00Yeah, right #2, the nerve of him. After all, Bloo...Yeah, right #2, the nerve of him. After all, Bloomie put a moratorium on property taxes for the landlords, and he also cut that sweet deal with Con Ed so that electricity and gas prices did not go up for landlords. And, of course, he banned all the property insurance carriers from raising their rates for these last few years. Not to mention all those contractors who cut their rates on any repair and routine upkeep on the buildings. <br /><br />You are so damn right, the gall of those landlords refusing to pass all those savings on to the rent stabilized tenants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-76942611896651052632012-06-22T12:50:21.012-04:002012-06-22T12:50:21.012-04:00That's exactly what happens when you elect a s...That's exactly what happens when you elect a scumbag like Bloomberg for mayor.
