Bill > A09393

This bill reduces the notice period for eviction-related procedures from fourteen days to seven days in several key areas of New York's real property actions and proceedings law. Specifically, the bill changes three main provisions: first, when a landlord serves a written demand for rent after a tenant has defaulted on payment, the notice period is shortened from fourteen to seven days; second, the language is updated to be more gender-neutral by replacing pronouns like "him" with "the tenant"; and third, when a warrant is issued for eviction, the required notice to the tenant is also reduced from fourteen to seven days. The bill also includes provisions related to the "good cause eviction law", which requires landlords to provide specific information when serving notices, such as whether the property is subject to this law, the basis for not renewing a lease, or the justification for a rent increase. The changes will apply to actions and proceedings commenced on or after the effective date, with some technical provisions about the exact implementation of the law.
