Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the real property law, in relation to prohibiting eviction without good cause
AI Summary
This bill amends the Real Property Law to prohibit eviction of tenants without "good cause." The key provisions include:
1. Defining key terms like "housing accommodation," "landlord," "tenant," and "rent."
2. Outlining the circumstances under which a landlord can evict a tenant, such as for non-payment of rent, property damage, or illegal use of the premises.
3. Preserving existing requirements of law, including notice requirements, that landlords must follow.
4. Voiding any agreement that waives or modifies a tenant's rights under this new law.
5. Providing for severability of the law's provisions and applying the law to actions commenced on or after the effective date.
Overall, this bill aims to provide more protections for tenants by limiting the grounds on which landlords can evict them, in an effort to prevent arbitrary or retaliatory evictions.
