Bill > S07986

This bill, known as the "Protection Against Unfair Section 8 Evictions (P.A.U.S.E.) Act," provides that in any case where a municipality or Section 8 housing program refuses to pay the required portion of rent due to building code violations or violations of the warranty of habitability, the tenant or lawful occupant of the dwelling shall not be required to pay their share of the rent and shall not be subject to eviction proceedings for non-payment of rent or supplemental rent. This protection applies to state, local, or federal subsidy programs. The bill amends the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law and the Real Property Law to enact these provisions.
