Bushwick Housing Independence Project

Great meeting tonight! Thanks to @elpuentepalante for hosting our #Bushwick Tenant Mtgs every last Wed. of the month / ¡Gran reunión mensual esta noche! Gracias @elpuentepalante por organizar nuestras reuniones de Inquilino #Bushwick cada último miércoles del mes #BHIPBK

@SandyforCouncil Tenants Have New Rights! NYS passed Good Cause Eviction Protections against rent hikes and unfair evictions in April 2024. If you are eligible for Good Cause, you now have a right to remain in your home as long as you pay rent and follow your lease. housingjusticeforall.org/our-platform/g…

It infuriates me that this insurance exists. Landlords should drop the absurd income requirement! You should not have to make $200k and have an 800 credit score just to access an apartment in the first place.

This month's meeting topic is about newest housing rights law: GOOD CAUSE. Come out to learn what it means + a discussion on how we can use it to keep Bushwick tenants in their homes! 6/26 @ 6:30PM at El Puente: 311 Central Ave. Eng + Spa interpretations + snacks provided.

Guaranteed lease renewals *or* ability to stay in your home month-to-month without a lease Ability to challenge rent hikes that are more than 10% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) + 5%, whichever is lower (8.82% in NYC and 8.45% upstate as of May 2024).

Protection against evictions for no reason so you don’t have to fear retaliation for demanding repairs or organizing with your neighbors #housingjusticeforall
