In this final summer 2017 facilitated dialogue, landlords and tenants found little to agree on. The agenda centered on several issues from the previous session’s agenda: the annual rent increase, relocation fees, no-just-cause tenancy terminations, and exemptions from rent stabilization for 4-unit and smaller properties. In this #7 facilitated dialogue it was clear City Council would be resolving the tough issues.

The four facilitated dialogues that followed identified key issues. This dialog #5 drilled down to tenant-landlord communication; a new habitability standard for individual units; and the maximum allowed annual rent increase. This is our recap.
