A 7782 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for a limited alternative remedy to remove unauthorized persons from residential real property

This bill (A 7782) creates a new, streamlined process for property owners to quickly remove unauthorized occupants from residential dwellings. It allows owners or their agents to submit a specific complaint form to police, who must verify the complaint and immediately order occupants to leave if all conditions are met (e.g., occupant didn’t enter publicly, owner directed them to leave, and they aren’t tenants/family). Police then serve a "notice to vacate" and facilitate the owner regaining possession, with the option to change locks and remove belongings. The bill includes safeguards: owners face civil liability for false complaints, and it doesn’t replace existing trespass laws or tenant rights.
