Synopsis
The court denied a preliminary injunction against New York City's FARE Act, which shifts broker fee payment from tenants to landlords. The judge granted in part the City's motion to dismiss, striking down plaintiffs' First Amendment, New York State Constitution, and state law preemption claims. However, the Contracts Clause claim was allowed to proceed. The court emphasized that it cannot overturn legislation based on policy disagreements.
