After renting five apartments in New York City I realized I was still
fuzzy on my tenant rights. What's my landlord required to repair? How
does rent stabilization work? When can my landlord enter my apartment?
I wasn't alone, after hearing horror stories from friends about skyhigh
security deposits and sketchy evictions. Thanks to a generous grant
from Sappi Ideas That Matter, I collaborated with non-profit group Tenants & Neighbors
to develop and design a boxed set of 30 flash cards on tenants' rights.
The flash cards translate New York state's official Tenants' Rights
Guide into a fun and friendly format that covers everything from
security deposits and subletting to paint and privacy so residents can
enjoy good times while becoming empowered residents. The flash cards
are now available for $10 in Tenants & Neighbors' online store and all profits go towards their good work. A fun and righteous gift for anyone in New York! You can find more images here and I'll post big shots of the fronts and backs of all the cards soon so we can all get our learn on for free.
