HSTPA 2019

Ch. 36, Laws of 2019 (Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019)

The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (Chapter 36, Laws of 2019), signed and effective June 14, 2019, made New York's rent regulation laws permanent by removing their expiration dates and overhauled them statewide. It eliminated the statutory vacancy bonus and vacancy longevity bonus, repealed high-rent vacancy decontrol and high-income/high-rent deregulation, extended the rent-overcharge lookback period from four to six years, and tightened owner-use (owner-occupancy) provisions. It amended the Rent Stabilization Law (RSL) and the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA), and authorized municipalities statewide to opt into rent stabilization.
