Bill > S265

This bill requires owners of certain apartment buildings with three or more floors, excluding those organized as condominiums or cooperatives governed by specific laws, to give priority to existing residents who are senior citizens or have mobility-hindering disabilities when they wish to move to a lower floor unit with the same number of bedrooms. This priority means these "qualifying residents" get the first chance to rent a lower-floor unit before any new applicants or other existing residents who don't meet these criteria. The bill also mandates that building owners post a sign informing residents about this priority status, and these requirements will not override any existing rules about affordability or income restrictions for the building.
