Sometime this month, New York landlords and tenants will gain access to $2.3 billion in federal aid allocated by the state.
The catch: They’ll have to work together to get it.
In a year that’s pushed the cat-dog dichotomy of the landlord-tenant relationship to extremes, cooperation could be elusive.
The law allows either party to start an application for relief. But for money to be doled out, tenants must request funds that will go directly to the landlord and the landlord must, in turn, accept them. Both have reasons not to do their part.
