Bill > S09357

This bill expands the definition of "eligible senior citizen" and "eligible disabled person" under New York's condominium and cooperative conversion laws. The key provisions are: 1. The definition of "eligible senior citizen" is expanded to include any member of the tenant's household who is 62 years of age or older and has lived in the housing accommodation for at least one year. 2. The definition of "eligible disabled person" is expanded to include any member of the tenant's household who has a permanent impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities and has lived in the housing accommodation for at least one year. This ensures that senior citizens and disabled persons who are members of the tenant's household, but not the tenant of record, receive the same protections against eviction during a condominium or cooperative conversion as the tenant of record.
