Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to information to be provided with all new and renewal leases for certain housing accommodations

AI Summary

This bill requires landlords of housing accommodations governed by specific rent control laws (including the Local Emergency Housing Rent Control Act and the Emergency Tenant Protection Act) to provide informational materials about two important rent exemption programs with every new and renewal lease, as well as on all rent bills, including electronic communications. The two exemption programs are the Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption Program and the Disability Rent Increase Exemption Program, which help eligible seniors and people with disabilities manage their housing costs. The bill amends an existing section of the real property tax law to mandate this additional disclosure, ensuring that tenants are informed about potential assistance they might qualify for. The legislation will go into effect 120 days after it becomes law, giving landlords time to update their lease and billing practices to comply with the new requirements.
