New York has the highest rents in the USA and a lack of affordable apartments. Residents can report issues with landlords to the city hall.

New York is facing the highest rents in the United States, having an acute crisis of affordable apartments. There is a significant discrepancy between the legally protected individuals and those vulnerable to rising prices. In this context, local authorities encourage residents to report issues encountered in relation to landlords, including the deteriorating condition of properties and hidden costs related to rents. At the end of the consultations, the administration will publish a detailed report that will serve as the basis for new public policies aimed at combating abusive practices by landlords. Details about the conduct of public hearings will be communicated soon, and the mayor's team aims to send a clear message to property owners.
