                                BILL NUMBER:S8182

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 576 of the laws of 1974 amending the emergency
housing rent control law relating to the control of and stabilization of
rent in certain cases, the emergency housing rent control law, chapter
329 of the laws of 1963 amending the emergency housing rent control law
relating to recontrol of rents in Albany, chapter 555 of the laws of
1982 amending the general business law and the administrative code of
the city of New York relating to conversion of residential property to
cooperative or condominium ownership in the city of New York, chapter
402 of the laws of 1983 amending the general business law relating to
conversion of rental residential property to cooperative or condominium
ownership in certain municipalities in the counties of Nassau, Westches-
ter and Rockland and the rent regulation reform act of 1997, in relation
to extending the effectiveness thereof

PURPOSE OF THE BILL:
The purpose of this bill is to extend the provisions of the rent
stabilization and rent control laws, for an additional seven years,
until June 15, 2018.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
This bill would extend the sunset date of the rent stabilization and
rent control laws until and including June, 15 2018, provided that there
continues to be a housing emergency in the city of New York.

EXISTING LAW:
Currently, the provisions of rent stabilization and rent control laws
expire June 15, 2011.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:
This bill would extend the provisions of the rent stabilization and rent
control laws that are set to expire next year.  The bill would extend
the sunset provision of the rent regulation laws for an additional seven
years, until June 15, 2018.

New York's rent-regulation laws provide protection to over 2.5 million
tenants throughout the state. The basis for both rent control and rent
stabilization is a housing emergency, defined as a vacancy rate below
five percent. Recent analysis of vacancy. rates in New York City has
shown that the number of available apartments has decreased to below
three percent, which is well below the five percent threshold necessary
to declare a housing emergency. The loss of affordable housing units can
undermine and uproot local communities by forcing working families from
their homes in the neighborhoods they helped create many years ago.
Government intervention is critical, and while the State has passed
various legislation in support of tenants in rent regulated and
controlled units, this bill would provide protection until 2018.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:
None. This bill could be implemented with the funds currently available
for these programs.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
