GETTING HELP FROM MET COUNCIL

Individual tenants can get advice from Met Council or learn about tenants’ rights by:  

  • Calling our hotline - 212-979-0611 - on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays from 1:30 to 5 p.m.
  • Listening and calling in to our weekly radio show, Housing Notebook, on WBAI · 99.5 FM  or (http://www.wbai.org), on Mondays from 8 to 9 p.m. 
  • Visiting our weekly walk-in clinic, Tuesday nights at 6:30 p.m., at 61 East 4th Street in between the Bowery and 2nd Avenue.  The clinic will be closed during the month of August.

Tenants who need help in organizing a tenant association in their building or complex should call 212-979-6238, ext. 204

To receive emails about upcoming events, actions, and tenant news, sign up for our active email list.

Some questions may be relatively simple to answer. Take a look at our growing list of fact sheets for a good primer on tenant's rights in New York City.

There are many excellent sources of information on housing issues on the internet, and Met Council has a very comprehensive list - click here to see it.

There may not be a way for anyone to help - it may be the law that needs changing. But you can do something to change it - get involved with Met Council. Join and become part of our campaigns for affordable housing and tenants rights.
