BILL NUMBER: S7539 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the real property tax law, in relation to adding rent protection to senior citizens where their rent is more than one-half of their income PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill would amend the SCRIE (Senior citizen Rent Increase Exemption) statutes to protect an additional category of senior citizen tenants,who do not fall within current statutory income limitations, but who nonetheless are being subjected to rent increases that constitute an unaffordable proportion of their incomes and therefore need protection. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section one of the bill amends section 467-b of the Real property Tax Law (RPTL), relating to rent controlled and rent regulated dwellings, by adding a new subdivision 10 that permits a locality to adopt a local law that provides additional protection for an expanded category of senior citizens. Section 2 of the bill makes a similar amendment to RPTL §467-c, relating to Mitchell-Lama dwellings.
