The City Council literally has to sue the Adams administration to make them enforce a law expanding rental assistance.

I can’t wait for Zohran to be mayor.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · Jul 15

Thanks to @chiosse.bsky.social and the City Council, the law is crystal clear: if a landlord hires a broker, they pay the fee.

Now the City must actively enforce it.

The FARE Act Doomsaying Hasn't Come to Pass—But NYC Real Estate Brokers Are Still Playing Games

One month after the bill that banned forced broker fees took effect, renters are still navigating a housing market rife with confusion and trickery.

"A lot of our establishment Democrats do and say more about progressives and folks who are trying to enter this party with new and fresh ideas than they do against Trump and Republicans," @chiosse.bsky.social says in this no-holds-barred Q&A. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Chi Ossé Is Tired of the Same Old Nonsense

From Kirsten Gillibrand (“she should resign”) to Eric Adams (“a power-hungry, egotistical man”) to the Democratic establishment, NYC’s Gen-Z political star doesn’t hold back.

A monumental change for NYC brought to life by council member Chi Ossé, a young, barely experienced, progressive elected official.

THE CITY @thecity.nyc · Jun 11

The FARE Act goes into effect today, meaning tenants will no longer have to pay brokers’ fees for their apartments if they didn’t hire the broker themselves.

Goodbye to Broker Fees for NYC Tenants as New Law Takes Effect

The FARE Act aims to make whoever hired the broker pay their fee, rather than it falling on renters.

🚨Chi Ossé is doing what every spineless Democrats won’t: actually fighting for working people. He crushed landlord greed by turning a viral TikTok into mass protest, passed a bill to kill broker fees, and backs rent freezes, social housing, and a vacancy tax. This is how you use power! WE WILL WIN‼️

The city will depend on renters to be proactive in reporting violations. “There’s this element of vigilantism that will be able to take place here, when it comes to holding these landlords and brokers accountable,” said sponsor @chiosse.bsky.social.

What Renters Should Know As NYC's Broker Fees Ban Kicks In - City Limits

With little capacity to investigate brokers and fines for offenses relatively low, the city will depend on renters to be proactive in reporting violations of the new broker fees law.

In this political moment, our city needs someone with the energy to stand up to Donald Trump and an inspirational vision of the most our city can be. That’s why I’m endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for mayor.

New York City cannot afford to deal with an Andrew Cuomo mayorship, especially during this catastrophic presidency. Ranked Choice Voting allows good candidates to team up without splitting the vote to defeat bad ones. These are my first endorsements:
