Dozens of Bronx residents and community leaders gathered for a rally today to support members of the City Council who are pushing for a tenants' bill of rights law.

Under the proposed legislation, landlords would be required to display a poster explaining tenants' rights, including eviction protections, repairs and services a landlord is required to make and mandatory heat and hot water in all units.

Landlords would also be required to give a copy of the document to all the tenants with their lease.

Cabrera says he expects the City Council to pass the bill by June. Tenants Bill of Rights
