New York A07982 sets deadlines for resolving petitions in real property actions concerning small dwellings.
New York A07982, known as the "small home owner and tenant fairness act," amends the real property actions and proceedings law. It mandates that in cases involving dwellings with two units or fewer, petitions that proceed to trial must be resolved within six months from the issue being joined. For cases involving dwellings with three or four units, the court must render a final judgment within twelve months from the date the issue is enjoined. The act allows parties to waive these time requirements if they agree.
