Less Rent,
More Control!
Albany tenants are taking back control of our rent, housing, and our lives from big landlords and corporations.
Join the fight for opting-in to the Emergency Tenant Protection Act to bring rent control and good cause eviction protections to 20% of Albany renters, and find out how we can win more.
IT'S TIME FOR ALBANY TO WIN
Kingston and Newburgh became the first upstate cities to opt-into ETPA- now it's time for Albany to join the wave of rent control!
Upstate tenant victories show us that when tenants come together, we win. Albany is among several upstate cities working to win rent stabilization right now!

THE IMPACT
All buildings built before 1974 and with 6 or more units would be eligible- that's over 1/4 of Albany's renters!
Thousands of renters in Albany will be eligible, and statewide campaigns are pushing to expand eligibility to even more tenants.
TENANTS TAKE BACK CONTROL
The Emergency Tenant Protection Act allows cities across New York State to opt-into rent stabilization.
This would create a Rent Guidelines Board, mostly consisting of tenants and community members, to decide a fair change in rent for each year.
ALBANY TENANTS ARE IN CRISIS
Landlords and the real estate industry are taking advantage of Albany tenants- putting profit over people!
In Albany, rents have risen more than 15% since 2020. 35% of renters in Albany are rent burdened, meaning over 30% of income goes to rent alone.
