The final vote for the FARE Act, a bill that would make landlords pay their own agents, if they choose to hire one, is coming up on November 13th!!!!
It is incredible that we’ve gotten this far, and after a marathon testimony session in June, I (and other experts) have worked with City Council’s policy attorneys to make sure this bill serves its intended purpose and has penalties for breaking the law. Loopholes have been closed (thanks, REBNY, for pointing some of those out). We have close to a 2/3 majority of council members as sponsors, but “big real estate” is pulling out all the stops to scare them out of voting yes. We also have to worry about a disgraced-mayor-Adams veto.
If you live in NYC, PLEASE contact your city council person in the next week and express your support for the bill. And if you’re free, the final rally will be at 1:30pm on November 13th at City Hall!
