Tenant lobbyist say owners can’t be allowed to set a new rent on vacancy because it’ll incentivizes them to harass and evict. Good Cause allows a new rent on vacancy for millions of apartments. Does that mean it’s incentivizing evictions in all those cases?

Yup. As I pointed out in the story below. But
@ceaweaver told me that while she worries about the harassment incentive of vacancy decontrol, she prefers it to the status quo for unregulated apartments.https://therealdeal.com/2022/01/18/the-benefits-and-costs-of-good-cause-eviction/ …2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

It would be preferable, yes. Not a perfect system but far preferable! Also
@jaymart222 i thought u said the incentives in vacancy allowances are a myth https://responsiblerentreform.org/facts/ pic.twitter.com/b78LsWo7lm

@ceaweaver didn’t you say rent control won’t impact supply in this tweet, even with moronic legislation like that in 2019 supply is being strangled. Imagine what GCE would do.

Hello “kill the moochers”. The point of jays tweet is that good cause is different from the rent laws of 2019. Thank u for reading

I haven't read the study (linked below) and can't speak to its objectivity. I can say this: The pandemic showed that the law of supply and demand exists in the NYC housing market. When supply outstripped demand, rents fell. Conclusion: We need more units. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4061315 …

I agree Erik we definitely need more units. I don’t think good cause will impact that question too much
