New York Just Banned Evictions… 

New York City is a nice place to get the hell out of

NYC is a circus in a sewer.

The enemy is not the landlord or tenant, the enemy is the government and their laws

New York should be a glowing example for what the world should NOT be doing.

I genuinely believe that someone is manipulating this for their own profit. There's no way this is the best solution they could come up with

If they are banning evictions then they should be banning tax increases. NYC doesn't want landlords, the government wants to be the landlord.

$4,300/m is considered affordable - that's insane!

$4300 a month being cheap is laughable. Even if I were making 6 figures to afford it, I wouldn’t want to stay in a place that looks like that

They are preparing us for "you'll own nothing and be happy"

It's fascinating to see how creative NYC Democrats can be when it comes to destroying their own city.

Crooked walls, lousy, paint job, cheap gas stove top, stripper pole in the bathroom, not exactly what I would call an apartment worth $4000 a month. Thankful my Georgia mortgage is about a quarter of that. Blessed I got out when I did.

I don't understand why these $4,000 apartments feel like they were built over a hundred years ago. These places aren't worth that much money. They don't even seem to have central heating and AC. Wtf?

I'd rather live in Antarctica than rent a rat hole in NYC

$4300 a month for that tiny apartment is "affordable"?! These videos remind me that I'm too accustomed to southern prices to live in NYC

LETTING them fall apart???? They already are falling apart. Disgusting how 3rd world those places look. Never, and I mean never would I live in that filthy city. Razor wire, security grates, graffiti, trash piled on sidewalks, disgustingly dirty sidewalks, rats, roaches…. Nope, never, not even for a million $ a year paycheck.

Billionaires and homeless, the NYC way, disgrace of a city

It feels like the mayor's thought process is "hm what will destroy Nyc fastest?".

Something similar recently happened in the Netherlands: against advice from everyone, the ministers went through with a number of changes: rent control got extended into mid-price rental properties, temporary leases are no longer allowed, stamp duty on commercial properties got increased to 10%, and income on rental properties are taxed more heavily. The responsible minister repeatedly said he would be "choosing the side of the tenant every time", and he did. Result: most landlords sold up, *ALL* investors in new rental properties pulled out, and conversion of old office buildings into rental studios stopped, and tens of thousands of tenants are out in the street. For one simple reason: a savings account will now give a comparable return on investment, without the risk and hassle. And even if the new government rolls back some of these measures, no investor is going to return. They got burned once, and once is enough.

NYC has become a festering pile of crap.

Scariest words ever…”We’re from the government and we’re here to help”!!!

Holy shit!?!? That 2 bedroom apartment is $4,300 a month!!! That's insane. How do people who live there afford utilities and internet? Nevermind food. Imagine living at this place but you can't afford to eat, so now you gotta go to the soup kitchens just to eat a meal. This is just crazy.

I’ve never seen a bathroom with a dancers pole in the middle of it for only $1050 a week 🤭😂😂

Hey NY vote the criminals out of your local government!

$4,300 for rent for a place that looks like THAT is absolutely DIABOLICAL! You can literally get a house, townhouse or condo for WAY cheaper than that out here. Omfg. 😩😩

Us midwestern folks hearing $4k a month for rent, I'm just figuring just how big of a house I could build for a $4k a month mortgage. 😂

Meanwhile, in Argentina, the President recently removed price controls on apartments and the result was that apartment prices went DOWN, because of competition. The NYC government knows this. So why did they pass this law? Think about it. When the crisis becomes so bad they only way to solve it is direct government control over apartments, that's what they'll do and gain more control.

Never thought about installing a pole in the bathroom for my girlfriend to practice with. Thank you New York!

There are tons of available apartments in NYC but they are not affordable.

So for all these years, renters have got the shorten of the stick and now that landlords are going to feel that feels like now it’s a problem, but it wasn’t a problem when landlords were kicking out perfectly good families.

All of these apartments look sooo depressing and just nasty. Why?? Why do people want to live in such an awful city?

In the 24 years I've been living in NYC as a low income renter, I've heard how everyone is going to leave and the city will die SO MANY TIMES, yet somehow we still have a population of 9 million and growing. So... to be honest, I wouldn't mind if a ton of people left, but they don't. This is sensational-ism. We make new rules and change them CONSTANTLY. Look at congestion pricing - lol... it's very fast paced here and the rest of the country doesn't seem to understand how quick a "NY minute" really is.

$4300 rent you must earn at least $174,00 per year.... What in hell kind of jobs are these people in NYC working? That's absolutely an insane amount of money. The national average salary is like $59,000 per year. Maybe if ALL the renters went elsewhere to live.... the city would finally get it.... NYC is so out of touch with the rest of America!

Like Kevin O’Leary said, No businessman will build or do business in NY after the trials of Trump.

No rent increases, despite massive inflation? 1) Squeeze out non-corporate landlords. 2) Landlords sell. 3) Corporations buy. 4) Rule get changed back to benefit the corporations.

$50,000 to clean and paint an apartment that doesn't make any sense.

If you can't decide how or if your property is used, then you are not the owner. The rent properties are being effectively socialized (read: stolen) now but the expenses for running them are still privatized.

It’s Robocop. High crime, bad law, crashing prices of buildings, insane high rent with restricted supply for the megacorps to wait it out and own it all.

I'm taking my apartment off the market. After what I faced with the last tenant, now it's worse. For mom and pop shops, it doesn't make sense.

$4300 a month for that litterbox and it has a pipe blocking entry into the bathtub? Holy $@&#! I hate this modern economy.

Man quit putting fake titles on your videos you're making me think they were banded evictions man you need stop it

Who the f*** wants to live in NYC?

Law makers are the best weapons to destroy a community

Glad to not be living in a broken or expensive State or City. That situation keeps getting worse.

why is there a "gentlemen's club" pole in the bathroom? "hmm we need to run a pipe through here. I know, let's put it directly through the middle of the bathroom, right in front of the tub! brilliant."

I think the biggest question on everyone’s mind is why is there a stripper pole in the middle of that tiny bathroom?

People choose to be landlords. And in NYC let’s not act like this isn’t an exploitative system. There wouldn’t be a housing crisis if greed didn’t cause these prices to skyrocket. Industries change they should’ve planned for a pivot like every other industry. I feel NO SYMPATHY for any landlord who lets apartments that look like this cost this much

It’s a lose-lose situation: Tenant paying jacked-up rents. Loss for Tenant. Tenant ‘agreeing’ to pay jacked up rent when they sign, and NOT paying afterall. Loss for Landlord because now they can’t evict them.

Just left nyc and let me say, Thank God! We now live in a 5 bedroom house, NOT an apartment in Virginia. We don’t see bums or drug addicts (they have homes) lying around everywhere. Virginia doesn’t have time for unemployed behavior. Mental illness is under control from what we can see. (Except at Walmart after 10)

Can't raise rent, then they cannot raise taxes, cost of food. The biggest reason landlords raise rent is to offset increased taxes.

I got out of that area years ago and it was the best move I ever made. If New Yorkers are proud to be there and think that the toilet they live in is the greatest place to be, then let them wallow in the raw sewage they keep creating for themselves. I won't even go there to visit anymore because it's gotten so bad.

My question is, who the hell would want to live in New York?

I am so confused. We can give loads of money to other countries, illegal migrants, but there is no help for landlords that are upside down.

It's because landlords need to keep their expensive lifestyles instead of stepping down some and lower the rent.

This is a way of getting landlords to sell their properties and then blackrock will buy them up.

the next step towards 15 minute cities... You will OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY!!!

As someone who's been harassed and threatened by an NYC landlord, one who only did so to try and force me out to jack up the price of the apartment I'm staying at, I don't care. In fact, I'm happy for the tenants who are probably stuck in a worse situation than I am.

got to love how these democrats are literally giving people reasons to love trump

Honestly, why anyone would have rental properties in NY is beyond me. I have rental properties and I follow some basic stuff: 1 - Never rent out property in areas that have rent control. 2 - Never rent out as section 8. 3 - Never rent out where squatters have rights

Meanwhile, property taxes increase every year because there's never enough revenue, most especially in high-density urban cities like NYC, and these landlords are expected to just absorb that cost? What about those of us who are our own landlords? My property taxes have increased almost $250 per year, every year, in the last 4 years thanks to the lousy Democrat-run economy we have. Where's the law protecting me from eviction for being unable to afford those taxes that I never voted to increase?

1 dont move or live in NYC. 2 buy your home 10 years ago.

I was born and raised in NYC. I love NY but this is why I moved to NJ 7yrs ago and work in Manhattan. It's cheaper and the commute is less than 1hr for me to get to work

I moved out of NYC right on time! WOW! This is insane. I didn’t know it was this bad!

Government not making everything worse with every single decision challenge IMPOSSIBLE

New Yorkers will have to go back to the days of tough guys convincing tenants that they really want to move even if they hadn’t realized it yet

Not only did nyc press not blast this big news but also remain silent on the Tenny verdict in appeals court which means many foreclosures by overtaxation should be void.

The mayor and the governor should be fired asap!!!!!these guys are doing nothing to help newyork!!!! Absolutely disgusting !!!!!!!!!

The government shouldn't be raising rent. Thats problem 1. That is basically stealing. More and more and more.

Lifelong NYer here and I can tell you wholeheartedly, Fuck this place it’s been ruined by corruption

I’d fix it for me by moving out. That city is a dump and to dangerous. I’m not sure you need a job to live in the USA just tell a new city you’re an immigrant from New York .

These laws are a path towards collectivism. By demotivating the ownership of private property, the government will have reason to step in and take over in order to meet the housing demands of their populace.

If cash keeps this up, NYC is gunna ban him 😂

The toilet bowl city(NYC) has overflowed. Spilling out over the bathroom. And plumbers are no where in sight.

$175 a month mail box key rental. $400 to view the rental. $4000 to apply for the lease, etc

NY is not habitable. Get out while you can, its not gonna get any better .

Cash going back to his real estate roots is great.

Control over private property is how it starts. It hasn't been that long since this all happened before across the ocean..

Impeach Hochul, vote out all ineffective, and incompetent leadership, and incentivize landlords to build and rent out affordable housing, by lowering the tax rate for any that help subsidize apartments. It's not a complete solution but a start, this newly passed law will destroy NYS investment real estate.

4,300 a month is not affordable cash ! This guys lives in an alternate world .

*Narcissists&Bums* that's basically all that's left in this shell of a city

I love that quote - rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic

We have a ton of commercial real estate sitting empty and a lack of housing. Hmmm. The city should be fast tracking the conversions and helping offset the costs to save the city. I can’t wait to leave for 1 reason. Cost of living. My rent went up $1,600 in the past 2 years. Unacceptable. Watching California self destruct had me shaking my head. Politicians are the biggest problem in the world today.

I left Berlin because of policies like this. As a tenant who was a) self-employed and b) not German, I was unable to rent an apartment. People I know on six figure salaries had rent a third of the cost of mine because the poor, young people, the self-employed, people with a bad credit score and foreigners were not considered as good tenants as affluent middle class Germans in full employement, so the middle class people were the only ones who got the cheap apartments. For everyone else there was the illegal and semi-legal sublet industry, where a middle class German would rent an apartment for 500 euros, put in some cheap IKEA furniture and rent it to someone else for 1,200 euros,, usually with one bedroom missing in order to claim they still lived there. That's the reality of rental caps and no-fault evictions, it reduces the number of landlords, and makes the poor poorer or homeless, and good private landlords sell up to corporations who can afford to take the risk on a bad tenant or rent that falls below inflation. They've failed everywhere they've been tried. Sensible countries build more homes to make rents cheaper, they don't drive down supply and make a supply side crisis even worse.

The way to fix this mess is deregulate heavily and allow builders to build more. Politicians don’t have a clue about basic economics or they just don’t care.

If there are no evictions landlords or raise rent will find that they are now stuck with problem tenants . Landlords will dump buildings and file for bankruptcy and tenants will have no services. The abandoned buildings will eventually be auctioned .

So glad I'm not a landlord in New York City. 😮

The government is never altruistic.

This is the sort of report that MSM could never deliver. Great job on the coverage. I hope you get financially successful by reporting the truth.

Self inflicted Doom Loop. Left 5 years ago after 45 years born and bred in NYC and it’s sad to see what it has become. I cringe the few times a year I have go there now for work.

Radiator pipe in the middle of the bathroom is unacceptable 😂

The state transfers the problem of the homeless to the apartment owners

Absolutely idiotic idea designed by people who are entirely detatched from reality. You get what you vote for, NYC.

So, we either vote out the people that pass these laws, flee or put up with more of this crap. Property taxes have literally been raging over the last year, and all this city has for us is more restrictions - more "Cynthia" at the HOA type knitpicking - no rights whatsoever. All the liability. They are clearly not thinking. Vote them out!

Brooklyn is going through a housing revolution of tons of affordable housing units are going up in the empty spots and reconstructed demolished buildings.

Legalize tiny home communities so people can afford to stay. The rent is too damn high, and property taxes are ridiculous for failing schools!

I don't know how much more the people can continue to be shit upon without a complete breakdown. The people of NYC must act NOW. Protest in the streets 24/7. Be relentless!

I hate section 8 renters! For about 8 years, while my husband and i were active duty soldiers, we rented our first home. We said NO section 8 but the property mngt went ahead and rented section 8. And as expected, they trashed our house. Ppl who dont have to earn what they have, dont respect it. I despise ALL taxpayer funded social programs!

You'd have to pay me to live in New York. A lot! I can't believe anyone pays to live there. If I were born there I'd save for a bus ticket out. Then I'd be gone.

This dude will never run out of videos.

I pay already pay 4200 a month for rent: 1 bedroom - 1 loft. My landlord just raised it 10% more, now 4600. Like wtf, how greedy can people get.

Housing and Food should never be charged. Nowhere. Basic human needs should be free for everyone. Landlords are always asswholes. If you Mke money off of someones genuine need you should question your right to be alive.
