The battle for Affordable Housing - a decent place to live for the millions of working-class families who make up the City’s workforce, is prime agenda for various NYC Tenant-Organizations.

Our NYC TENANT’S RIGHTS FORUM is an open-invite for meaningful dialogue on the rapid erosion of Affordable Housing caused by diminishing Regulated apartments & its effects on NYC’s working-class.

Message to Tenant-Organizations: 

Create your Organization’s Chatroom Page here in our NYC Tenant’s Rights Forum: - share information, events, conduct polls and meetings within your group, as well as network with other neighboring-groups. You can publish your work & efforts, and do your fund-raising across the platform. 

Message to Regulated Tenants: 

Create a Chatroom Page for your building here, and invite fellow-tenants of the building to share information on building services & Tenant’s Rights. This helps to ensure that no tenant is abused, harassed, or overcharged; and that you all receive the legally Required Services which are included in the Rent you pay every month.

General Purpose:

The NYC Tenant’s Rights Forum is for New York tenants to bring Questions regarding their Regulated Tenancy & apartment issues; Answers are provided by Consultants [each with over 30 years of Rent Regulation processing experience].

We believe the more Questions-&-Answers you read @ the Forum, the more you get to know about your Rights as a Regulated Tenant. 

There is a low-cost subscription of $10.99 [*non-refundable] which gives access to MyRETAC for one year – this helps us to maintain the infrastructure of services [Consultants, Tech Support, Storage Servers etc.]
