Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent freeze for 1 million rent-stabilized apartments in New York City will take effect October 1, 2026, after a 7-to-1 vote by the Rent Guidelines Board. Critics warn the policy may strain landlords and impact property maintenance, while supporters highlight its potential to ease housing costs for renters.
