Prohibits landlords from inquiring about or requiring disclosure of citizenship or immigration status, requiring specific immigration documentation.

The bill amends the executive law to prohibit landlords or their agents from inquiring about or requiring disclosure of citizenship or immigration status, requiring specific immigration documentation, disclosing a tenant's status to third parties, or threatening to report a tenant's status in retaliation for asserting their rights. It allows for identity verification and standard tenant screening practices that do not impose heightened requirements based on citizenship or immigration status. The act takes effect immediately.
