NEW RULES - LANDLORD HARASSMENT OF RENT REGULATED TENANTS HAVE CRIMINAL RAMIFICATIONS
The penal law has been amended to better protect tenants from the egregious misconduct of unscrupulous landlords by broadening the definition of the class E felony offense of Harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant and by establishing a related class A misdemeanor offense in Article 241 of the Penal Law.
A full copy of the bill, signed into law on Tuesday, as the "Tenant Protection Act of 2019", can be found at https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/s2605
