This is a slap in the face to tenants.
This would be the weakest
#GoodCause
in the country, denying hundreds of thousands of renters basic protections from predatory landlords.
@GovKathyHochul
,
@AndreaSCousins
, and
@CarlHeastie
: this is a giveaway to real estate.
On good cause eviction, one source tells me concessions include:
- exemption for rents 200% of fair market rent
- 30 yr exemption for new construction
- owner-occupied buildings of 8 units or less, and those landlords with a 10 unit portfolio exempt
- opt-in for municipalities

Evictions are pushing people to suicide.
And the real estate industry is doing everything they can to protect their “right” to evict and destroy our lives. It’s inhumane.
I can't fathom this. Not the man's choice, but a society obsessed with violence that can't see how evictions and denying people housing is so incredibly violent.
