The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 created a new Real Property Law 227-f. This provision states that no landlord may refuse to rent or offer a lease to a potential tenant on the basis that the potential tenant was involved in a past or pending landlord-tenant action or summary proceeding. In addition, there is now a rebuttable presumption that there is a violation of this law if information is requested by a landlord from a tenant screening bureau or the landlord otherwise inspects court records.
