Prohibits landlords from charging fees for nonessential services in base rent for leases.

New York A01768 amends the real property law to prohibit landlords from requiring fees for nonessential services, such as cable, internet, and garage usage, as part of a tenant's base rent. This prohibition applies to lease agreements signed after the bill's effective date. The law does not apply to buildings with fewer than three dwelling units. Any agreement for nonessential services must be separate from the primary lease agreement.
