The attacks in the New York City mayor’s race may have veered into the personal, but they also reflected a larger debate on who should benefit from government regulation of housing costs.

As he seeks to boost his campaign for New York City mayor, Andrew Cuomo is proposing an overhaul to New York City’s rent laws and escalating his attacks on the frontrunner, Zohran Mamdani.

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is criticizing New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for living in a rent-stabilized apartment. The independent mayoral candidate says if elected, he would propose what he's calling "Zohran's Law" to block higher income New Yorkers from living in rent-stabilized units.
