With rents rising, and eviction moratoriums
soon to expire, renters across New
York City have every right to be scared.
Now StreetEasy, an app that lists real estate and
connects tenets with landlords, has introduced a new
feature to help New Yorkers know their rights as renters
and report instances of discrimination.
“Our goal is to make the process of shopping for a new
home smoother for all New Yorkers, regardless of how
they pay for that home,” said Caroline Burton, VP and
general manager of StreetEasy.
According to StreetEasy, as many as 26 percent of
New York City renters don’t fully know their rights. The
site aims to change that by making these rights clear,
easy to fi nd on their app, and available to all.
Another major focus of the app is to allow New
Yorkers to report income discrimination by landlords.
Drops in rent and high inventory levels have meant
the number of homes available to Section 8 voucher
holders has doubled. Section 8 vouchers, issued by the
Public Housing Authority, meaning that the state pays
the majority of the holders’ rent and utility costs, and
allows lower-income residents to fi nd suitable homes;
discrimination against voucher holders has been illegal
in New York City since 2009.
“Housing is a human right, yet far too many low-income
New Yorkers are unable to fi nd a place to live,” said
Alyssa Aguilera, co-executive director at VOCAL-NY, a
grassroots social justice organization. “This new tool
from StreetEasy will help get the word out that source
of income discrimination is illegal – and we hope it
will help homeless New Yorkers fi nd the homes they
deserve.”
