New York City's Rent Guidelines Board provisionally approved a 0% to 2% rent adjustment range for one million rent-stabilized apartments. The vote advances Mayor Zohran Mamdani's campaign promise to freeze housing costs in the United States's largest city. This is a preliminary determination; the board will hold a final vote in June.
