Good Cause NYC

Product Design

Good Cause NYC ↗ is a website that allows tenants in New York City to learn if they are covered by the new “Good Cause Eviction” law and if their rent increase is legal.

Context

New York State passed the Good Cause Eviction law in April of 2024 that made it illegal for landlords to end a tenant's lease without a good reason or increase a tenant’s rent over a certain amount. Due to the law’s complicated criteria and exemptions, it is exceedingly difficult for tenants in NYC to understand their coverage under the law, know their maximum allowable rent increase, and assert their rights.

This case study is still in progress. In the meantime, check out some press!
