AN ACT to amend the real property law, in relation to prohibiting eviction without good cause The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1
AI Summary
This bill prohibits landlords from evicting tenants without "good cause," as defined in the bill. The bill applies to most residential housing accommodations, except for owner-occupied premises with fewer than four units, sublets, premises solely used for employment, and premises already subject to "good cause" eviction requirements under other laws. The bill outlines specific grounds that constitute "good cause" for eviction, such as non-payment of rent, lease violations, nuisance, or the landlord's personal use of the property. The bill also preserves existing legal requirements for eviction proceedings and prohibits tenants from waiving their rights under the law.
