That's all you need nowadays is three words. Nobody asks anything more than that. Freeze the rent. But that's him. What are you offering? Yeah, let me just finish what freeze the rent means? Freeze the rent means the 25 to 30% of the units that are currently rent stabilized. He will freeze those rents, which the city can do. There's a legal process to do it. But put the law aside. 75%, nothing happens. And as a matter of fact, the 75% of the units absorb the rent increase that the 25% would have paid. (02:13–02:25)

CLAIM

Asserts that freezing rent applies to 25 to 30% of rent-stabilized units and is legally possible.
