As the Rent Guidelines Board considers rent increases to protect "mom and pop" landlords, consider @JustFixNYC's report on the myth of mom and pop landlords, who are as rare as unicorns in NYC.https://medium.com/justfixnyc/examining-the-myth-of-the-mom-and-pop-landlord-6f9f252a09c …

True, good point. Yeah maybe just exempt owner occupants and no one else. Seems more than fair especially in a city like nyc Our landlords own like 5 brownstones and are considered “mom and pop.” They’re not renewing our lease for no reason! (We suspect they don’t like kids)
This happens a lot! It’s why we are fighting for good cause eviction (http://www.right2remain.com ) — I can’t tell you how often LLs try to just make someone move bc they have children. We need a lot of help!! Would love to talk more abt getting involved.
