New York bill A06364 aims to protect senior citizens from eviction due to pet ownership in multiple dwellings.

New York bill A06364 amends the real property law to prevent discrimination against tenants aged 62 and older who own pets. This protection applies unless the pet causes damage, creates a nuisance, or interferes with the health, safety, or welfare of other tenants. The bill allows landlords to set reasonable rules for pet care and handling, such as requiring pets to be restrained in common areas and proper disposal of waste. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
