Bill > A10576

This bill enacts the "Vicarious Liability for Housing Discrimination Act of 2023" and amends the Executive Law to impose vicarious liability on a person for unlawful discriminatory practices related to the sale, rental, or lease of a private or publicly-assisted housing accommodation by the person's agent or employee, regardless of whether the person encouraged, condoned, approved of, or knew or should have known of the conduct that resulted in the discriminatory practice. The bill aims to hold property owners accountable for discriminatory actions taken by their agents or employees in the housing context, consistent with agency law principles.
