The New York City Council recently introduced three bills intended to provide greater protection to tenants at risk of being illegally evicted. The three pieces of legislation target so-called predatory equity landlords. Predatory landlords refer to landlords who buy buildings at high prices in the hope they will earn back the money once the rent-stabilized or rent-controlled units are deregulated.
