Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"We created the Tenant Protection Unit to
give renters a voice and to crack down on those who seek to harass and
intimidate them out of their homes. This ruling upholds the creation of
the TPU and additional renter protections advanced by this
administration, which is a victory for the more than 2 million
rent-regulated tenants across New York. Make no mistake: We will
continue to protect tenants and move aggressively against unscrupulous
landlords who seek to violate their rights and the law."

To date, the Tenant Protection Unit
has successfully returned close to 60,000 improperly deregulated
apartments and recovered over $3.8 million in overcharged rent for
unsuspecting tenants through settlement agreements and administrative
proceedings.
