Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to prohibiting landlords from including incorrect information relating to rent decontrol in certain leases and renewals thereof and requires the standardization of certain notices pertaining to units subject to the Affordable New York Housing Program
AI Summary
This bill prohibits landlords from providing incorrect or misleading information in notices to tenants regarding rent decontrol, which is the process by which a rent-stabilized apartment becomes subject to market-rate rents, often after tax benefits expire. Specifically, landlords who willfully include false information in these notices or fail to provide a standardized rider will be guilty of a violation punishable by a $1,000 fine. The bill also mandates that the Commissioner of Housing and Community Renewal create a standardized rider, a document that must be provided to tenants in units benefiting from the Affordable New York Housing Program (a tax incentive program for developers), to clearly explain rent stabilization rights, lease renewal entitlements, and rent increase limitations, and to provide contact information for relevant state and city agencies for further assistance.
