A New York judge has ordered City Hall to turn over certain emails and text messages involving the Rent Guidelines Board as part of a legal challenge to New York City’s rent freeze, according to the New York Post. Judge Brendan Lantry issued the limited discovery order Wednesday, allowing landlords challenging the rent freeze to seek communications involving Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration and the board. The Post reported that the judge said the records could help determine whether the Rent Guidelines Board, which is legally independent of the mayor’s office, coordinated with City Hall before voting on the freeze.
