A Rent Regulation Fight Is Brewing in Albany

The energized freshman senate crew, which includes Zellnor Myrie, Alessandra Biaggi and Julia Salazar, is determined to strengthen New York’s 70-year-old rent laws. On Jan. 9, the Democrats took control of the senate for the first time since 2009, when they only held on to a slim majority for a year. Before that, the Demoracts spent 43 years in the minority.
