Bill > A09783

This bill aims to clarify the determination of an interim multiple dwelling unit's status as a protected occupant's primary residence. It amends the Multiple Dwelling Law to specify that no single factor, including statements on tax returns, should be solely determinative in making this determination. The bill also restores certain landlord-tenant relationships that were severed prior to the effective date. It overrides a recent court decision that misinterpreted the relationship between primary residence and continued occupancy for potential protected occupants under the Loft Law. The bill seeks to codify the Loft Board's existing policy and precedent on evaluating primary residence for these occupants.
