Bill > A00868

This bill requires supervising state and city agencies that oversee supportive housing to provide tenants with a comprehensive informational notice about their rights and housing details. The notice must be given during the initial housing application, lease signing, lease renewal, and upon request, and must be available in English and the tenant's primary language. The notice must include detailed information such as rent stabilization status, tax exemption details, eviction rights, legal representation options, housing maintenance code enforcement, discrimination protections, payment receipt rights, family occupancy rights, building regulatory information (including funding sources and program details), rent amounts, subsidy information, and contact information for various agencies. Supervising agencies, which include entities like the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance and various state and city health and social service departments, must also create an online portal and telephone hotline where tenants can request additional copies of the rights document. Additionally, these agencies are required to receive, investigate, and publicly report on complaints related to violations of these tenant notification requirements. The bill aims to provide supportive housing tenants with transparent, accessible information about their housing rights and resources.
