What you can do to support the Gateway Plaza Tenants Association’s campaign for Rent Stabilization for ALL
- As you probably know, the rent stabilization guidelines that are in place for many Gateway Plaza tenants are set to expire in June 2020.These guidelines provide protections to tenants by limiting the amount rents can be increased. These limits follow the same percentage guidelines established annually by the Rent Controls Board.
- With the help of our elected officials and support of Battery Park City Authority, the GATEWAY PLAZA TENANTS ASSOCIATION (GPTA) has played an important role in assuring renewals of the guidelines in 1987, 1995, 2005, 2009.
- With the prospect of the guidelines expiring, GPTA is looking to each Gateway tenant to reach out to our elected officials and BPCA to urge them to continue to protect us.
- GPTA is seeking rent stabilization for ALL Gateway residents, not just those covered previously.
- The term of the last agreement was 10 years; we are requesting a term of 20 years for this new agreement.
- GPTA urges everyone to participate in this effort, by signing a petition, making phone calls and/or writing letters.
- Very soon we will be providing information to you about how you as an individual can support our goals. Watch for our email, which will include a sample letter you can use, or feel free to write your own. Contact information for our representatives will be attached.
