Instead, they will make it impossible for many landlords to meet their costs and afford to invest in maintaining and improving their buildings. Hundreds of thousands of rent-stabilized units, especially older units in the boroughs outside of Manhattan, will be at risk. We need responsible rent reforms that protect tenants and property owners. Learn more at ResponsibleRentReform.org.                     LEFT COLUMN: LATEST CHANGE TO STAR TAX EXEMPTION...
