[00:00:00]When is the last time your rent went down? Well, New York City's Rent Guidelines Board recently considered doing just that, cutting the rent on 2 million New Yorkers. Not freezing, cutting.

[00:00:13]For apartments, 1-year lease, -3% 2-year lease, >> [cheering] >> -4.5% to 0%. That motion got voted down at a recent meeting, and so did a competing proposal to hike rents by as much as 8%.

[00:00:33]1-year lease, 3% to 5.5% 2-year lease, 6% to 8%.

[00:00:43]>> So, when is your rent going to go down?

[00:00:45]Well, based on what we know so far, it's not happening this year, and a rent freeze, while quite possible, is no guarantee, either. We're going to find out by the end of June.
