No vacay till rent law: gov

ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo threatened to call state lawmakers back to Albany every day of the summer if they end the legislative session this month without voting to extend the expiring rent regulation law.

Cuomo said he’d also like to see more tenant protections added to the law. Among them, he’d raise by $200 the current $2,500 rent threshold that allows a vacant apartment to become deregulated.

Mayor de Blasio and other tenant advocates have called for the end of vacancy decontrol.

A state Senate source said it’s unlikely the Legislature would leave town June 17 without passing at least an extension of the rent law that expires June 15.
