New York City’s FARE Act In Court: Whether It’s “Fair” Is Still Under Review

In late 2024, the City Council upended the New York City rental markets when it passed the Fairness in Apartment Rental Expenses (FARE) Act , which, in part, prevents a real estate broker who “publishes” a real estate listing or who enters into a listing agreement with a landlord from seeking payment of their brokerage fee from the prospective tenant. The real estate industry argued that the law is unconstitutional and preempted by state statute. On June 10, 2025, REBNY v. City of New York allowed the Act to take effect on June 11, 2025. This article analyzes the district court’s decision, its impact, and what happens next.
