@ceceonthescene: imagine defending landlords #zohranmamdani #rentfreeze #democraticsocialist #skit #fyp Zohran Mamdani succeeded in delivering a major campaign promise: the rent has been frozen for millions of New Yorkers in rent-stabilized apartments. And I’ve frankly been shocked by the response I’m seeing online. The empathy people have for landlords and the complete lack of empathy for tenants is very confusing to me, lol. The landlord defenders are claiming this will lead to apartments falling into disrepair because basic maintenance can’t be done — well ok that’s illegal? Maintenance is the cost of doing business as a landlord. They have to find the money somehow or else lose their investment. Skits, political satire.
New York City Government will eventually take over these rental properties and apartments. If you are unable to pay the Government they will assign you a job or take other actions

sounds like the landlord is living beyond their means maybe they should try and cut back on expenses so they can afford to maintain their house they are legally required to do

So if they can’t afford it then they sell the investment

If landlording isn’t profitable for them, they could just sell and get out of the business. I’m sure they could find a buyer.

maybe housing shouldn't be a for-profit business? 🤷♂️

Anyone who thinks landlords can’t afford a rent-freeze has no clue how much landlords make.

They're acting like they don't have a gigantic profit margin.

What if… they got other jobs to afford their bills. Like the rest of us have to in order to afford the exorbitant rent prices

gosh it like there is a cost to do business and that being a land lord is not a ticket to print money.

They had YEARS of rent increases to fix all those issues. They were waiting specifically for 2026? 😂

No, You Are! :
The point of "how are they gonna pay?" goes completely out the windows when you realize the reason it's frozen is because they don't do those things normally

They are already making money on the appreciation of the property if they can't afford the maintenance cost based off the affordable rent they can sell their investment!

The Texan Leftist :
If a landlord has 100 properties and has a hard time with liquidity, they can sell one or two properties and pay to fix everything that needs it. It’s literally so easy for them if they put in 2 minutes of effort.

Buying a building you can’t afford to maintain sounds like a terrible business decision

let's not forget maintenance and other costs are tax deductible. so renters pay twice. once thru rent and again thru taxes to cover the hole left by tax deductions by the landlords.

This also isn't a permanent rent freeze. it's 2 years. I once wend 4 years without a raise. If I can manage so can landlords

Landlords don't seem too concerned where tenants get their money when they increase rent.
