Reply to comment by JeromePowellAdmirer in Tenants Fight Back As Rents Soar In Jersey City And Hoboken by mad_dog_94

Human checking in! You can actually look at tax abatement data and information here - it's a couple years old, but will give you a good look at what's out there: https://civicparent.org/2021/07/26/jersey-city-2021-budget-160-abatements-on-citys-books-visualizations-on-abatement-type-value-pilots-and-taxes-if-billed-in-full/

​

So if your building claims that they are raising because taxes went up - double check here to make sure that's true!

The "taxes" excuse is the laziest one the apologists have. For some reason they never seem to explain why landlords in places the taxes didn't go up also raised rents.
