The renewal of the city's rent laws will be a major issue for debate in the 2015 New York State legislative session. The rent laws are controlled by the state Senate, which is currently in Republican hands. Democrats from New York City will try to protect and strengthen the rules, while Republicans who lead the state Senate are expected to try to roll back the restrictions.
