BILL NUMBER: S2088 SPONSOR: KAVANAGH TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general obligations law, in relation to making rent stabilized dwelling units eligible for certain protections PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To update New York's General Obligation Laws to include the protections afforded for tenants with security deposits under the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA) of 2019 for Rent Stabilized tenants. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends Section 7-108 of the General Obligations Law to remove exclusion of rent stabilized dwelling units Section 2 of the bill states this act shall take effect immediately
JUSTIFICATION: The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act (HSTPA) of 2019 estab- lished new protections for tenants with Security Deposits, including requirements that landlords return security deposits within fourteen days from the tenant's vacatur, provide an itemized list of any damages beyond wear and tear for which they are deducting any part of the depos- it return, and conduct an inspection within two weeks of tenants' vaca- tur to give tenants time to correct any damages. However, these protections do not extend to the hundreds of thousands of units that are rent stabilized, since the HSTPA included these protections in a Section of the General Obligations Law (7-108) that explicitly excludes rent stabilized dwelling units. These protections have helped level the playing field for tenants and have eliminated long standing abuses in the security deposit system; they should be extended to all tenants in the State of New York. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2021-2022: S6340 (Kavanagh) / A4627 (O'Donnell) - JUDICIARY/judiciary FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
