In NYC, rent stabilization is one form of rent regulation. Unlike rent control, which used to guarantee a tenant's rent could not be raised, rent stabilization puts a percentage cap on how much the rent can be raised each year.
As you can imagine, there is a big battle between landlords and tenants over the future of rent regulation. The laws are slowing changing to favor the landlords: new apartments are never subject to rent regulation, while the old apartments that are stabilized are becoming a thing of the past. Once a certain monthly rent is reached on an apartment, it is automatically removed from rent stabilization restrictions. So with each new lease, the landlord can raise the rent to "market value" or whatever he feels he can get.
That is why they say there will eventually be no middle class in Manhattan: there will be subsidized housing for the poor (e.g., projects), and the rest will go to those who can afford to pay the exorbitant rents. |

| Wow there is so much interesting stuff going on in the photo. The brick looks painted and the leaves grace the entrance. I love how your black and white accentuates the lighting in the area. |
