(New York, NY) — This evening, the NYC Rent Guidelines Board approved a rent adjustment of 3.25% for one-year leases and 5% for two-year leases. The final vote was 5–4. This rent adjustment falls dramatically short of the adjustment necessary to keep up with operating costs, which was calculated at 4.5% in the RGB’s Price Index of Operating Costs (PIOC). The PIOC calculated the necessary increase when inflation was only 4%. Nationally it is now over 8%.
