New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration has concluded a six-week series of “Rental Ripoff” hearings held across the five boroughs, where renters described problems ranging from unaddressed repairs and pests to lack of heat and allegedly deceptive fees. City officials say a report summarizing the testimony and recommending policy actions is expected within 90 days of the final hearing.
Hong Kong's Basic Housing Units Ordinance takes effect on Sunday, requiring landlords to renovate properties to meet new standards. The law has already prompted evictions, with more than 200 households in Sham Shui Po's Yee Wa Building given notice to leave. Tenants like 72-year-old Chan Sai-chiu struggle to find affordable alternatives.
