PSC President James Davis released the following statement:
“PSC-CUNY has voted to endorse Council Member Chi Ossé’s FARE Act, a bill that would require the party who hires an apartment rental broker to also pay the broker fee. Rent and associated living costs continue to rise across New York City; when landlords hire brokers but shunt the cost onto tenants, move-in costs can mushroom over $10,000, a prohibitively expensive sum for PSC members and the students and communities we serve. We are proud to join over a dozen other New York City unions, representing hundreds of thousands of working New Yorkers, in endorsing this common-sense legislation, which is already sponsored by a majority of City Council Members.”
