BILL NUMBER:S1375
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property actions and proceedings law, in relation to certain holdover tenants
Purpose or general idea of bill
To modify the provisions of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law to better protect individuals for whom finding similar housing in a limited period of time would "occasion extreme hardship" from being evicted in areas outside of New York City, where such protections already exist.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1:Amends subdivision 1 of section 753 of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law, which currently allows tenants in New York City who are subject to a hold-over proceeding to be granted a stay of eviction for a period of up to six months if they can demonstrate similar housing is not otherwise available in the area where they live or that it would "occasion extreme hardship" if the stay was not granted, to make such provision applicable statewide.
Section 2:Effective date.
Justification
Obtaining proper rental housing for those with disabilities can be especially challenging, often similar housing is not readily available in the geographic area they currently reside in. This legislation helps provide for an adequate time for a person to transition from one residence to another if they can demonstrate similar housing is not otherwise available in the area where they live or that it would "occasion extreme hardship" if they were not given additional time.
