New York State announced that the suspension of evictions and foreclosures has been extended to March 16, 2021. Here's what NYC landlords and tenants need to know:
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the extension of executive order 202 for an additional 30 days to March 16, 2021. Executive order 202 was enacted on March 7, 2020 in response to crisis caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.
This means that landlords will now have to wait longer before they can begin housing court proceedings. Emergency cases can be filed in instances where the tenant(s) pose a danger to the landlord or other tenant(s) safety.
The extension enables tenants to stay in their current housing unless the tenant creates nuisance conditions which endanger other building residents.
The June 2019 rent laws changed predicate notice requirements. Landlords should consult their attorneys to determine the notice rents for their particular case. These notices are required before housing cases can be filed. Tenants should seek to make payment arrangements. The extension should be used to position yourself for when the housing courts reopen.
