Candy Chang has designed a set of flash cards meant to demystify the often-confusing tenant laws in New York City. It’s great to see design and well-written copy serve a purpose that will educate and potentially greatly improve people’s lives. A perfect stocking for your friend, child, sibling planning on making the big move to NYC in 2010.
Now if only someone could make a set of these to make sense of the tax documents we have to deal with every year.
Many residents in New York are unfamiliar with their housing rights. What is my landlord required to repair? How does rent stabilization work? When can my landlord enter my apartment? Thanks to a generous grant from Sappi Ideas That Matter, Candy collaborated with non-profit group Tenants & Neighbors to develop and produce a boxed set of 30 flash cards on tenants’ rights. The flash cards translate New York’s official Tenants’ Rights Guide into a fun and friendly format that covers everything from security deposits and subletting to privacy and eviction so residents can enjoy good times while becoming empowered residents. The flash cards are available for $10 in Tenants & Neighbors’ online store and all profits go towards their good work. Buy one for yourself and all of your friends – a righteous gift for anyone in New York state!
Check them out in all their glory here.
