New York A05396 mandates landlords to process rental applications within seven days, after which the application is deemed rejected.

New York A05396, known as the "Right to Timely Rental Applications Act," amends the real property law to establish a seven-day limit for landlords to process rental applications. If a landlord fails to notify an applicant within this timeframe, the application is automatically rejected. This applies to landlords, lessors, sub-lessors, or grantors. If one co-applicant is rejected, all co-applicants are also rejected. Additionally, any fees collected for application processing must be returned within fourteen days if the application is rejected.
