What they posted

I am so proud to receive the endorsement of the NYS @TenantBloc. With the power of our city's tenant majority, we're going to freeze the rent and win a city we can afford. https://t.co/UiDF0heInl

Why it's Truth

Tier 1-3 sources including Reuters, AP, NYT, Bloomberg, Gothamist, and Politico confirm the Rent Guidelines Board approved and the freeze took effect on Oct. 1, 2026, for ~1 million rent-stabilized apartments, directly fulfilling the promise. Lawsuits are ongoing but did not prevent implementation.
