Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Is Approved by New York City Board
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pledge to freeze rents for rent-stabilized apartments became a campaign centerpiece. Six months into his first year, a city panel delivered.

The NYC Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) sets annual rent adjustments (percentage increases or freezes) for approximately one million rent-stabilized apartments across the city. The independent nine-member panel, appointed by the mayor, balances tenant affordability with landlord maintenance costs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
The Board performs several key functions each year to regulate the market:
Core Functions
- Setting Rent Limits: The Board establishes the maximum allowable rent increases or lease freezes for rent-stabilized apartments, lofts, and single-room occupancy hotels on one- and two-year renewal leases. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Reviewing Economic Data: The board analyzes massive research studies on housing costs, including the Price Index of Operating Costs (PIOC), which measures changes in expenses like taxes, fuel, and labor. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Evaluating Market Health: It mandates studies on landlord incomes, the cost of financing buildings, overall vacancy rates, and tenant affordability. [1, 2]
- Holding Public Hearings: Before issuing final orders, the Board holds public hearings across the five boroughs to hear testimony directly from tenants, owners, and housing advocates. [1, 2]
Important Distinctions
- Guidelines vs. Rent Freeze Programs: While the RGB sets annual lease rates, a separate entity—the NYC Department of Finance (DOF)—manages the Rent Freeze Program (SCRIE and DRIE). That program freezes rent for eligible seniors and people with disabilities, covering the difference with tax credits. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Exceptions to the Rule: The Board's annual guidelines aren't always the only way rent changes. Landlords can sometimes apply for additional legal rent hikes on top of the annual vote, such as Major Capital Improvements (MCIs) or Individual Apartment Improvements (IAIs). [1]
