Aaron Sirulnick, Chairman of the Rent Stabilization Association
Real Estate Weekly: Braced for a deluge of rent defaults some 25,000 New York City landlords are asking Mayor Bill de Blasio for payment forgiveness on property tax assessments, water and sewer bills as COVID-19 closes the city.
The plea came as the mayor made his own call to the state for a rent freeze for the city’s 1.1 million stabilized apartments.
“Albany lawmakers are pushing for 90-day rent forgiveness for residential and commercial tenants – and on top of all this, the mayor and many state legislators are now calling for an automatic one-year rent freeze on all rent-stabilized apartments in lieu of this year’s RGB deliberations,” said Rent Stabilization Association president Joseph Strasburg and chairman Aaron Sirulnick in a joint statement.
