Want A Say In The Cost Of Your Rent?

Unless you are lucky enough to own your little space in New York, the cost of rent is always an important of life in the city. For the most part we get the statement at the end of the month and pay it by the beginning of the next. But what if you could get your two cents on how rent is raised? If you are unable to reduce the increased prices by screaming or cajoling your landlord, you might want to come to the Rent Guidelines Board meeting tonight in The Great Hall at Cooper Union (7 East 7th at 3rd Avenue).

The final vote is tonight and this is the best time to make a lasting impression before the axe comes down. The landlords will be present to make their case on why your rent should be raised as high as possible. Yet for every one of them, there are many more of us. So come make your voice heard and fight the increasing cost of living in the city we all love.
