What is the Tenants Associations position?
The Association wants to ensure that the rights of all tenants are fully protected in the event that MetLife goes forward with a sale. That means making certain that this remains a community accessible to middle-class New Yorkers — the group for whose benefit the communities were built. We believe that our interests will best be served if tenants themselves take action to use their significant combined leverage to shape the future of the property. This might mean a tenant-sponsored plan that seeks to protect both rent-stabilized and market rate tenants.
