GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Long Island lawmakers and renters gathered in Garden City on Monday to urge state lawmakers to extend the rent-regulation laws set to expire June 15.
Rent regulation is not just a New York City issue, said Nassau County Legislator Kevan Abrahams.
“We’re seeing our young people, our young population, shrinking, shrinking and shrinking,” he said. “It’s happening because we’re not focused on making sure we protect the rights of renters.”
