   Mamdani Goes After Bad Landlords in NYC

   NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new Rental Ripoff Report lays out 23 actions aimed at cracking down on “bad landlords” after the city gathered testimony from more than 2,400 tenants across all five boroughs. The proposals range from faster inspections and stronger enforcement to recognizing tenant unions, increasing penalties, modernizing landlord registration, and even requiring disclosure of AI-altered rental listing photos. In this episode of Landlord Lens, John and Seamus break down what’s actually inside the Rental Ripoff Report, which reforms could benefit both tenants and responsible landlords, and which could create unintended consequences for New York City’s rental market. The bigger question: Can NYC solve its rental problems by going after bad landlords, or does fixing housing require addressing the economics of owning and maintaining rental properties too?
