Bill > S03742

This bill requires landlords of housing accommodations regulated by certain rent control and rent stabilization laws to include informational materials about two specific rent exemption programs with all new and renewal leases, and 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. The bill amends the real property tax law to mandate that landlords provide this information at least once annually, ensuring that tenants are informed about potential rental cost relief programs for seniors and people with disabilities. The informational materials will be provided by the entity administering the programs and will describe the eligibility requirements and benefits. The law will go into effect 120 days after it is signed, giving landlords time to prepare and implement the new requirement.
