Tenants evicted due to fire must be offered suitable accommodation by the owner.

New York S03886 ensures tenants evicted from their homes due to a fire receive a suitable alternative dwelling while the vacate order is in effect. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development must provide this accommodation, which must meet specific criteria such as adequate space, no hazardous violations, and private facilities. The building owner must pay the rent for this accommodation if they were negligent or intentional in causing the fire. Tenants also have the right to return to their original unit once it is deemed safe.
