- 内容摘要
- 曼达尼市长任命了租金委员会九名成员中的六名
- 一名代表房东的委员在投票前辞职,称结果早已内定
- 涉及约百万套公寓,四分之一的纽约人居住于此
纽约,6月25日(路透社)——纽约市住房委员会周四投票决定,对约百万套受租金管制的公寓实施最长两年的租金冻结,兑现了市长佐赫兰·曼达尼上任仅数月就兑现的核心竞选承诺。
该市租金指导委员会以7票赞成、1票反对的结果,决定从10月起,一年期和两年期租约的租金涨幅均为零。数百名租户挤在曼哈顿一家博物馆的礼堂内,对这一结果欢呼并吹响哨子。

“这对纽约市租户来说是历史性的胜利,”曼达尼在一份声明中表示。“这是全市工薪阶层应得的救济。”
此次投票是持续数周、备受关注的年度惯例的高潮,该惯例决定房东可以对租金管制公寓上调多少租金——这些公寓约有四分之一的纽约人居住。委员会考量的因素包括工资、通胀、维护成本、税收和房东收入。
根据委员会2025年研究(打开新标签页),受管制公寓的平均月租金为1599美元;而根据房源机构StreetEasy的数据,该市新租公寓的中位租金为3950美元。

曼达尼是一名民主社会主义者,曾承诺让城市更负担得起。自1月上任以来,他已任命了委员会九名成员中的六名,选择他认为同情租户的人士。
委员辞职
但在周四投票前数小时,一名代表房东的委员称这是在操纵委员会,并辞职抗议,指责该机构未履行法律规定的无偏见义务。辞职的克里斯蒂娜·史密斯是曼达尼前任的任命者,也是委员会两名房东代表之一,她表示市长早已预先决定了投票结果。
“重组后的委员会必须给出租金冻结方案,”她说。“此后的一切都只是作秀。”
委员会主席尚泰拉·米切尔是曼达尼的任命者,她表示委员会成员和工作人员秉持独立和诚信履职。

委员会另一名房东代表、曼达尼任命的马克西姆·温在投票前发表长篇声明时遭到租户的嘘声。但几分钟后他结束发言并投票赞成冻结租金时,人群的愤怒转为喜悦。
在投票前的公开听证会上,租户要求冻结租金,甚至要求下调租金,称收入跟不上通胀和飙升的账单。2015年至2021年间,市长比尔·德布拉西奥曾三次实施仅针对一年期租约的租金冻结。
房东团体辩称,租金冻结只会让物业业主更难维护楼宇,称部分业主无法偿还抵押贷款。
一些房东,从仅拥有一栋楼宇的“夫妻店”业主到富裕的私募股权投资者,表示他们被迫对不受租金管制的市场利率公寓上调租金,以弥补在租金管制单元上的损失。

当选后,曼达尼从皇后区一套月租约2300美元的一居室租金管制公寓搬到了曼哈顿市市长官邸的五居室住宅。
周四的投票延续了曼达尼本周的胜利。他还庆祝了三名左翼候选人在竞争激烈的纽约国会众议院民主党提名选举中全部获胜。

- Summary
- Mayor Mamdani appointed six of the rent board’s nine members
- One board member representing landlords resigned before vote, saying outcome predetermined
- Affects about a million apartments, where a quarter of New Yorkers live
NEW YORK, June 25 (Reuters) – A New York City housing board voted on Thursday to freeze the rents for about one million regulated apartments for up to two years, fulfilling a central campaign promise of Mayor Zohran Mamdani only months into his term.
The 7-1 vote by the city’s Rent Guidelines Board set increases at zero on both one-year and two-year leases from October. Hundreds of tenants who crowded into a Manhattan museum auditorium cheered and blew whistles at the result.

“This is a historic victory for New York City tenants,” Mamdani said in a statement. “This is the relief that working people across our city deserve.”
The vote was the culmination of a weeks-long, noisy annual ritual that determines how much landlords can increase what they charge for rent-stabilized apartments, home to about a quarter of New Yorkers. The board weighs factors including wages, inflation, maintenance costs, taxes and landlords’ incomes.
The average monthly rent for a regulated apartment was $1,599, according to the board’s 2025 study, opens new tab, in a city where the median rent for a newly leased apartment is $3,950, according to listings agency StreetEasy.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist who has promised to make the city more affordable, has appointed six of the board’s nine members since he took office in January, choosing people he believes are sympathetic to tenants.
BOARD MEMBER QUITS
But hours before the vote on Thursday, a member representing landlords said this amounted to stacking the board and resigned, accusing the body of not following its obligations under the law to be unbiased. In resigning, Christina Smyth, an appointee of Mamdani’s predecessor and one of two landlord representatives on the board, said the outcome had been predetermined by the mayor.
“The rebuilt board was required to deliver a rent freeze,” she said. “Everything since has been theater.”
Board Chair Chantella Mitchell, a Mamdani appointee, said the board’s members and staff served with independence and integrity.

The other landlord representative on the board, Mamdani appointee Maksim Wynn, was booed by tenants as he read a lengthy statement before the vote. But the crowd’s anger turned to delight when he wrapped up several minutes later and voted in favor of the freeze.
At public hearings in the run-up to the vote, tenants demanded a rent freeze, something that happened three times under Mayor Bill de Blasio between 2015 and 2021 for one-year leases only, or even a rent decrease, saying incomes were not keeping up with inflation and soaring bills.
Landlord groups contended a rent freeze would only make it harder for property owners to maintain their buildings and said some were not able to cover their mortgages.
Some landlords, from “mom and pop” owners of a single building to wealthy private equity investors, say they are forced to hike rents on unregulated, market-rate apartments to recoup losses on their rent-stabilized units.

After his election, Mamdani moved from a roughly $2,300-per-month one-bedroom rent-regulated Queens apartment to the mayor’s five-bedroom official residence in Manhattan.
Thursday’s vote extended Mamdani’s successful week. He also celebrated the victory of all three left-wing candidates in hotly contested races to become Democratic Party nominees for New York seats in the U.S. Congress.
