Tenant Rights & Affordable Housing


NYCDC works to educate recent immigrants on their rental housing rights and responsibilities and help prevent them from falling victim to illegal eviction tactics and other forms of harassment and discrimination such as but not limited to changing locks, threatening tenants, cutting off utility companies for you, etc..

This program will also educate you on affordable housing, making financially wise choices regarding your home purchase, and finding the perfect home for you while considering your budget and income.
