Prohibits any person who owns or manages more than four rental units within the state from serving as a public member on a rent guidelines board

This bill prohibits individuals who own or manage more than four rental units in New York State from serving as public members on rent guidelines boards. It directly affects small-scale landlords (those managing 5+ units) by barring them from these boards, which set rent guidelines in areas with housing emergencies. The key provision amends existing law to add this restriction, ensuring public members have no direct financial stake in rental properties covered by the law. The change applies to all such boards statewide, including New York City's.
