Understanding Rent Stabilization in NYC
Rent stabilization is NYC's most extensive tenant protection program, covering approximately 1 million apartments. Buildings are generally rent stabilized if they:
- Were built before January 1, 1974
- Have 6 or more units
- Haven't been legally deregulated (through high-rent vacancy or substantial rehabilitation)
How to Verify Rent Stabilization
- Ask the landlord: They're required to provide a rent stabilization rider with your lease
- Request rent history: Contact DHCR to get the apartment's official rent history
- Check the lease: Look for a rent stabilization lease rider addendum
- Use StreetSmart: Our building profiles indicate likely rent stabilization status
2024-2025 Rent Guidelines
The NYC Rent Guidelines Board sets maximum annual increases for rent stabilized apartments:
- 1-year lease: 2.75% increase (2024-2025)
- 2-year lease: 5.25% increase (2024-2025)
These limits apply to lease renewals only. Initial rent may be set by the landlord if the apartment was legally vacant.
