New York S07781 amends the real property law to provide penalties for landlords who refuse to rent to tenants involved in past or pending.

New York S07781 amends the real property law by adding a new provision that allows potential tenants injured by a landlord's refusal to rent due to past or pending landlord-tenant actions to seek relief in the supreme court. This includes temporary and permanent injunctive relief, damages, and costs, including attorney's fees. Actions can be brought within two years of discovering the violation and against the landlord or their agents. The bill also allows the attorney general to pursue injunctive relief and civil penalties independently. This act takes effect immediately.
