Establishes the "winter moratorium evictions act"
This bill prohibits evictions from residential properties in New York State during winter months (November through April), defined as periods when temperatures reach 32°F or lower. It directly affects tenants in residential housing, preventing landlords from forcibly removing them during cold weather to reduce risks of homelessness and health crises. The law amends eviction procedures to enforce this temporary ban, requiring landlords to follow standard notice processes outside the winter moratorium period. It does not eliminate all evictions but creates a seasonal protection period based on temperature thresholds. The policy aims to address documented health and safety risks linked to winter homelessness, as cited in the bill's legislative findings.
