AN ACT to amend the real property actions and proceedings law, in
relation to the effect of issuance and execution of an eviction
warrant
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 749 of the real property actions
and proceedings law, as amended by chapter 192 of the laws of 1975, is
amended to read as follows:
3. The [issuing] EXECUTION of a warrant for the removal of a tenant
cancels the agreement under which the person removed held the premises,
and annuls the relation of landlord and tenant[, but nothing contained
herein shall deprive the court of the power to vacate such warrant for
good cause shown prior to the execution thereof]. HOWEVER, THIS SUBDIVI-
SION DOES NOT DEPRIVE THE COURT OF THE POWER TO VACATE SUCH WARRANT AT
ANY TIME. Petitioner may recover by action any sum of money which was
payable at the time when the special proceeding was commenced and the
reasonable value of the use and occupation to the time when the warrant
was [issued] EXECUTED, for any period of time with respect to which the
agreement does not make any provision for payment of rent.
S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all
causes of action occurring on or after such date.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
