New York A09033 establishes a moratorium on evictions during extreme weather and the 72 hours following such conditions.

New York A09033, known as the "extreme weather tenant protection act," introduces a moratorium on evictions during extreme weather conditions and the 72-hour period following such conditions. The bill defines "extreme weather condition" as periods with national weather service warnings for excessive heat, cold, or other severe weather events, and state of emergency declarations. Tenants unlawfully removed during these periods have a private right of action for damages, costs, and attorney's fees. The attorney general can also enforce compliance.
