Bill > S09123

This bill amends the Multiple Dwelling Law to clarify the determination of the status of an interim multiple dwelling unit as a protected occupant's primary residence by the Loft Board or a court. It states that no single factor, including tax return statements, shall be solely determinative in making this determination. The bill also restores certain landlord-tenant relationships that were severed prior to the effective date. The purpose is to correct a court decision that misinterpreted the primary residence requirement for potential protected occupants under the Loft Law, and to codify the Loft Board's existing policy and precedent in evaluating primary residence.
