On Tuesday, the Supreme Court allowed a federal moratorium on evictions extended in March by President Biden to remain in place. Meantime, a pair of Republican state Senators in New York – which has its own eviction moratorium in place are seeking to assist struggling local landlords.
New York’s pandemic-related eviction moratorium has been in place since March 2020. On May 4th, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an extension to keep the moratorium on residential evictions until August 31st.
Under New York’s law, tenants must sign a financial hardship declaration to prevent an eviction. Landlords can evict tenants who otherwise create public safety or health hazards.
