Enacts the "extreme weather tenant protection act"
This bill (A 9033) creates a statewide moratorium on residential evictions during extreme weather conditions in New York, including excessive heat (90°F+ heat index) and other severe weather events declared by the governor. It directly affects tenants in New York residential properties, particularly low-income and heat-vulnerable communities disproportionately impacted by heat-related evictions. Key provisions automatically halt eviction warrants and pending enforcement during declared extreme weather and for 72 hours afterward, while requiring landlords to maintain prior rent obligations and tenant rights. The law replaces informal, ad hoc eviction suspensions with a formal, statewide rule, including public notice requirements and legal recourse for tenants unlawfully evicted.
