Gretchen Lieb - Libraries at Vassar College

Gretchen works as a history and multidisciplinary librarian at Vassar College.

Supports New York’s good-cause eviction legislation, calling it a basic protection for renters and landlords.

Under the state law, municipalities have the ability to set parameters regarding how many units “good cause” applies to. Poughkeepsie’s resolution exempts so-called “small landlords” with only one rental unit in the state. Multiple residents at Wednesday’s meeting, like Gretchen Lieb, urged the Board to adopt the broadest parameters possible.

"These are all extremely good-sense measures and practices for landlords. It's nothing excessive. It's not real rent control,' says Lieb. "It's just good, basic legislation to protect both renters and landlords."
