Relates to succession rights for rent stabilized housing

This bill reduces the residency requirement for family members to inherit rent-stabilized housing from two years to one year. It directly affects family members (as defined by law) of tenants who permanently vacate a unit, including senior citizens or disabled individuals meeting the same one-year standard. Key provisions clarify that temporary absences for reasons like military service, education, hospitalization, or employment do not interrupt the required residency period. The change simplifies succession rules for existing rent-stabilized units, making it easier for qualifying family members to take over tenancy without meeting the previous longer residency threshold.
