May 1 was moving day in New York, because most leases expired then.
By city law, all renters had to be out of their old house by 9 AM and into
the new one by noon. Streets were crammed with carts on the busiest day
of the year. People were leaving Manhattan for places like “Brooklyn, Williamsburg,
Jersey City, and Hoboken … owing to the enormous increase of rent and the
taxation, that is heavy, like a millstone around the necks of New Yorkers.”
Founded in 1848, the Tenant League agitated for more flexible leases because
the universal May 1 expiration served as an excuse for landlords to raise
rents annually.
