    Landlords needs to just leave NYC. Convert all apartments into condos and sell them. And for houses just sell them. Good luck then with anyone wanting to find a place a rent but rent control is a crime IMHO and theft from landlords.

      Good luck with that. Even if the city allowed you to convert a rent-controlled building, the cost of bringing it into code compliance would be enormous.

      That's right, the rental market itself is a form of rent control.

      True but the fact is rent control artificially limits rent increases with absolutely no consideration for the actual cost of providing housing.

    The city itself is a big landlord and thousands of units are not up to code so they remain vacant indefinitely. Developers could build brand new buildings but good luck evicting tenants who can stop paying rent and delay eviction court for years. Developers would also be forced to have a certain number of affordable units which would evaporate any profits unless they charge above market rates for everyone else. They need an awesome billionaire vigilante to fight crime and also build units at a loss LOL.

      NYCHA evicted some people last week. They still have to shelter them if they ask but I guess it motivates neighbors to pay.
      NYC also does what you're saying, like 20 percent of new building apartments are often listed in the affordable housing lottery. The other rents run the building.

    As the rent control laws become so restrictive as to prevent landlords from charging enough rent to sustain the business, is where these laws will become a problem. The government (under appropriate circumstances) has the “police power” to enact rent control. On the other hand, however, any rent control law must be constitutional, which means, among other things, that the law must allow a property owner the opportunity to apply for a fair return increase. I believe that eventually, with rent increases that are less than the inflation rates, it will lead to a valid court case.

    • @mwatercress

      Agreed. I also suspect that the just cause eviction protections that make it difficult for the owner to terminate tenancy at the end of a lease and occupy the property could result in a case. And the mobile home parks where dilapidated in-park mobile homes sell for $200,000+ when they are worthless out of the park, the mobile home sellers are charging a premium for access the rent-controlled space.

    The perspective of socialist is more about an ideal. My father is a socialist and I had to make a drastic change to get into the mindset of a landlord.
    They look at things in terms of ignoring the practical aspects of things and focus exclusively on social domination or power. If people are thwarted from doing certain things, then it is easier for someone who lives life like this to take advantage and dominate everyone.
    Without discussing the political aspects, the ideal is everyone is happy socializing with each other and ignore their financial problems.

    The long term issue is in the title. "Rent increase approved," regardless of the state of rental demand, is exactly what dug NYC landlords this cavernous economic risk pit. The lobbying power of (big) NYC real estate has guaranteed decades of these approvals with no let up, and now everyone owns properties that can't take a downward market correction to rental rates without jeopardizing their mortgages. Part of approving those constant increases was a political give and take to appease for the rent control side of things, but the only thing that really matters is where it leaves people now. The people this has screwed in particular are individual/smaller property owners and tenants.

    Tony it's not about emotions. NYC is mandated by law to provide shelter due to lack of it in the 60s. ( dad ran a shelter). If they allowed rents to double, say, 5 or 10 percent of the lower middle class will be at the city shelters . We already have chaos bc they took in the migrants.

      True but they have literally had a certified housing emergency that entire time. Rehabbing NYCHA units cost 3-4 times as much as much as they allow private owners to pass on as a rent increase. It is almost like the crisis is caused by their solution. We put people on the moon in less time.

    • @musictosoothe
      @musictosoothe Місяць тому

      But private landlords are not (or should not be ) mandated to provide it. Rent that private landlords charge must be high enough to cover expenses and provide a reasonable profit. If not, why rent anything out? If the state gov't feels that they must have buildings rented out at below market rents, let the gov't build them and rend them. Why don't they do it? Because they know it's not possible without becoming a charity.

      @mwatercress Місяць тому +3

      In the long run there is no appreciation if cashflows don't justify it and you can't terminate the tenancy. If you can't move into your own unit or convert it to condo, what are you buying beyond a property tax bill and potential liabilities? The only reason I could see to buy one of these buildings is to buy it at a discount gambling that the Supreme Court restoring property rights.
