Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that Mayor Eric Adams was planning to stack the Rent Guidelines Board with a bevy of his own appointees on his way out of office in an effort to block Zohran Mamdani's agenda to freeze rent for rent-stabilized tenants. Then, on Friday afternoon, the New York Post reported that one board appointee Adams was considering was Eleonora Srugo, the Douglas Elliman luxury real estate agent, Adams confidante, and star of the first (and only) season of the Netflix reality show "Selling the City."

Eric Adams is considering appointing new members to the Rent Guidelines Board before his term expires, which could make it harder for frontrunner Zohran Mamdani to fulfill his promise to freeze rent for the city's 2 million stabilized tenants. If Adams makes those appointments, it would leave the board split, sources say. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani's promise to "freeze the rent" for the city's 2 million rent stabilized tenants has captured the race for mayor, and won him support of many New Yorkers
