New York City Rent Rules

The Power of "Too"

In the text, we see: "life is too expensive now."

When we use too before a word, it means "more than we want" or "a problem."

Simple Examples:

• The rent is too high $\rightarrow$ I cannot pay it.
• The room is too small $\rightarrow$ I cannot fit my bed.
• The city is too noisy $\rightarrow$ I cannot sleep.

Action Words for the Future

Notice how the text talks about what happens next using will:

• "The group will look at prices..."
• "They will make a final choice."

Use will + action to talk about a plan or a promise.

Pattern: Person + will + action $\rightarrow$ Result

• I will pay the rent $\rightarrow$ I can stay in my home.
• The group will vote $\rightarrow$ The price changes.
