Unintended Consequences of Proposed Renter Relocation Policy
In response to the proposed requirement for landlords to pay $2,900-$4,500 to tenants who face no-cause evictions or 10% rent hikes, John DiLorenzo and the Equitable Housing PAC are warning the city about potential unintended consequences.
