Morning Headlines: Rent Guidelines Board Approves Rent Hikes, Ranked Choice Voting Results to be Released, and Staten Island Family Can Temporarily Keep Pet Pig in City

Rents are going up for nearly 1 million New Yorkers in rent-stabilized apartments after the Rent Guidelines Board approved increases Monday night. Starting in October, one-year leases will rise 3 percent, and two-year leases will go up 4.5 percent. Meanwhile, New Yorkers are getting their first look at ranked choice results from last week’s primary election. Plus, a Staten Island family will be allowed to keep their pet pig temporarily while it receives medical treatment. But once it recovers, the mayor says the pig must move to the family’s upstate home, where owning a pig as a pet is legal. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
