Landlord Attorney Trying to Kill Mamdani's Rent Freeze Forces Release of SHOCKING Texts Like 'Appreciate the Appointment' and 'Honored to Serve'
Hell Gate • • nation
Key Points:
- A group of landlords, represented by former First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro, is seeking to overturn the two-year rent freeze on New York City's 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.
- They won a legal victory when a judge ordered Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration to release communications with the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB).
- The landlords argue that Mayor Mamdani exerted undue influence on the RGB by promising the rent freeze before taking office, challenging the board's independence.
- The RGB, while nominally independent, has historically been composed of mayoral political appointees, adding complexity to the dispute.
