Michael M. Berger is senior counsel at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP, where he is co-chair of the Appellate Practice Group. He has argued four takings cases in the U.S. Supreme Court.
In case you haven’t been paying attention, rent control laws in general, and New York’s laws in particular, have been receiving a lot of attention in the courts. Three current challenges to New York’s laws (one was recently rejected by the United States Supreme Court and two others are still pending) lay out the issues. The Supreme Court has not addressed these issues in a while, but it seems as though fate is conspiring to bring them to the fore.
