Written by Office of Senator Harckham
New York State Senator Pete Harckham and members of the State Senate passed a comprehensive bill that enacts a four-month foreclosure and eviction moratorium for New Yorker renters, homeowners and small landlords facing financial hardships due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The bill also automatically renews annual property tax exemption benefits for eligible senior citizens or disabled homeowners, circumventing the requirement that they file in person for the benefit, a hazard to many during the pandemic.
The sweeping protections for homeowners and renters, all included in the Covid-19 Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act, were passed during a Special Session of the State Senate.
The state Legislature on Monday will pass a bill that would extend an eviction moratorium until May 1 and strengthen a variety of laws for renters and homeowners
