A 2422 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to recovery of certain housing accommodations by a landlord

This bill modifies New York City landlord-tenant law to limit when landlords can evict tenants to reclaim a unit for their own use or a family member's. It prohibits evictions of tenants who are 62+ with 15+ years of tenancy or have a documented disability preventing substantial gainful employment, requiring landlords to offer equivalent or superior housing at the same or lower rent instead. Landlords may reclaim only one unit per building, and recovered units cannot be rented to others for three years unless to the original tenant under the same lease terms. Tenants facing improper eviction can seek damages, legal fees, and injunctive relief through court.
