BILL NUMBER:S552
Title of bill
An act to amend the social services law, in relation to authorizing public welfare officials to withhold rent from a landlord when real estate taxes for the rental property are unpaid
Purpose
To help insure that property owners who receive rental subsidies from the government pay property taxes for that property when due.
Summary of provisions
Section 1- would amend section 143-b of the social services law, as added by chapter 997 of the laws of 1962, subdivisions 5 and 6 as amended by chapter 701 of the laws of 1965.
Section 2- Effective date
Justification
Under existing law government officials must continue to pay government subsidized rentals to landlords regardless of whether the property taxes for these rental properties have been paid.
Property owners who receive these payments should not be permitted to become delinquent in paying their property taxes and continue receive payments from the Government. This bill would authorize government officials to withhold the rental payments until any delinquent property taxes have been satisfied.
