If you live in a rent-stabilized apartment, and your annual income is $45,000 or less, and you pay 33% or more of your income toward rent, you would qualify for the Espada Rent Freeze.

For example, your monthly salary is $1,500 and your monthly rent is $600. Your rent is 40% of your income. You would qualify for the Espada Rent Freeze.

If your landlord raises your rent by 3%, to $618 a month, your rent would stay frozen at $600. Another 3% rent increase the following year, your rent would stay frozen at $600 a month. In fact, your rent would stay frozen at $600 a month for five straight years.

The Espada Rent Freeze Bill would keep real money in your pocket to buy food, clothes and other necessities.

And the best thing about the Espada Rent Freeze plan. It would be funded entirely by landlords, not taxpayer dollars.

Finally an affordable housing bill that

would provide real rent relief to low- and

middle-income working families.
