WATCH: NYC Landlord DRAGS Zohran Mamdani and His Voters After Communist NYC Mayor Announces Rent Freeze for More Than Two Million Residents

A New York City landlord has gone viral for dragging Marxist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he announced a massive rent freeze last week.

As The New York Times reported, a New York City panel voted on Thursday to freeze rents for nearly one million rent-stabilized apartments. This fulfilled one of Mamdani’s prominent campaign promises.

The Rent Guidelines Board approved the freeze on both one- and two-year leases in a 7-to-1 vote. Increases were thus paused on more than 40% of all apartments across the five boroughs.

The Times revealed that this includes high-rise luxury apartments, deeply affordable subsidized units, and 150-year-old walk-ups.

Mamdani posted a video on X bragging after the Board rendered its decision, noting that more than 2 million NYC residents will be affected.

“New York, the Independent Rent Guidelines Board just froze the rent,” Mamdani says while grabbing an ice cream bar from the fridge. “That means if you’re one of the more than two million New Yorkers who live in a rent-stabilized apartment, your rent’s gonna be frozen next year.

But NYC’s Jude Jean Paul Bernard, who is a landlord, real Estate Broker, and investor, was quite unimpressed. He posted his own video to roast Mamdani and his supporters.

Bernard opens by sarcastically congratulating renters on having their rent frozen, then pours out a cold reality that neither they nor Mamdani wants to hear.

BERNARD: Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to all the renters out there. You guys did it!

You guys got the rent frozen, and for the next two years, there will be no increases. Perfect!

Now, that doesn’t mean that expenses have gone down. That doesn’t mean that taxes, insurance, water, energy….None of that went down.

So, I’m not sure if we were struggling to make the numbers before, I’m not sure how we’re going to fix that boiler, fix that broken elevator, and do all those things that you tenants deserve.

If there’s no money, how are we going to do this?

And conveniently, the same city that just passed this rent freeze has also said that they will be taking distressed properties from bad landlords.

So, you don’t have the money to fix the properties, but if we don’t fix the properties, you guys are going to take it away.

I love it (sarcasm). Socialism at its best!
