Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seventy-four, in relation to enacting the rent emergency stabilization for tenants act on local determinations of a housing emergency

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "rent emergency stabilization for tenants act," amends the existing Emergency Tenant Protection Act of 1974 to allow cities with a population of one million or more to declare a housing emergency if the vacancy rate for any class of housing accommodations or all housing accommodations falls to five percent or below, and it also outlines procedures for cities with populations under one million, towns, and villages to declare a housing emergency based on various housing affordability and supply factors, including requiring public hearings and allowing for the collection of rent roll data from property owners with penalties for non-compliance, and it further permits these smaller jurisdictions to add certain newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated buildings with four to six units to rent regulation.
