Bill A 1779 amends the New York State low-income housing tax credit program. It requires that the scoring and ranking criteria for project applications include a preference for broadband access.

This bill (A 2729) requires landlords to offer tenants the option to have their rent payments reported to credit bureaus to improve their credit scores. Landlords must provide written notice at lease signing and annually, detailing the reporting terms, including a $5 monthly fee limit (if charged), and explaining how tenants can opt in or out (with a 6-month waiting period after opting out). It directly affects renters seeking to build credit and landlords who must follow specific disclosure rules. The law does not require reporting but mandates clear tenant consent and transparency about the service.
Establishes the housing people and animals together grant program to expand access for co-sheltering people experiencing homelessness and victims of domestic violence with companion animals.
Requires landlords to replace a lock on a tenant's dwelling door within 24 hours of a request by a tenant who is a victim of domestic violence; provides civil penalties for violations in relation thereto.
