New York S08857 mandates landlords to inform tenants of their rights at lease signing and post notices in multi-unit buildings.
New York S08857, known as the "tenants' bill of rights," requires landlords to provide tenants with a notice of their rights when executing a residential lease. This notice must be attached to written leases and given to tenants with oral leases. For buildings with more than six rental units, landlords must also post a notice of tenant rights at the building's entrance or another prominent location. The bill outlines specific tenant rights, including the right to habitable premises, rent receipts, and protection from landlord retaliation.
