City of New York, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York confronted the most recent challenge to the constitutionality of New York’s Rent Stabilization Law, as modified by the Housing Stabilization and Tenant Protection Act of 2019, which significantly altered the balance between landlord and tenant interests.
