πŸŽ‰ We’re excited to present: Good Cause NYC, a guide for tenants living in market-rate housing that explains a New York State law called Good Cause Eviction.

Created in collaboration with TakeRoot Justice ( ), the Center for Justice Innovation ( ), CUP ( ) and art collective SWRD, made up of graphic designer Sarah Wang ( ), and illustrator Ryan Davis ( ).

β€”

Good Cause Eviction protects some market-rate tenants from excessive rent increases and eviction without β€œgood cause.” The guide explains:

➑️ Who is covered by Good Cause Eviction.

➑️ How this law protects some tenants from excessive rent increases and eviction at the end of a lease.

➑️ How protected tenants who can’t access a lawyer can defend themselves in Housing Court when landlords violate their Good Cause rights.

It follows two fictional characters β€” a tenant whose landlord tried to raise the rent too much, and a tenant whose landlord tried to not renew their lease β€” to show how each tenant is protected, and how they can prepare to tell their story and defend their rights in Housing Court.

β€”

Help us distribute this guide to tenants living in market-rate housing!

Check out the digital version β€” and pre-order printed copies for your organizing by April 3 β€” via our linktree in our bio πŸ”—
