New York A03803 requires landlords to pay a tenant one month's rent if they evict without cause.
New York A03803 amends the real property law by adding a new section that defines "no cause eviction" and requires landlords to pay a fee to evicted tenants. The fee equals one month's rent, excluding safety deposit returns. This applies to evictions without cause, such as non-payment of rent, violation of tenancy obligations, or illegal use of the property. Exceptions include owner-occupied premises with fewer than four units, sublets, employment-related evictions, and regulated properties. The act takes effect 30 days after becoming law.
