Prohibits landlords from restricting tenant installation of appliances or fixtures, unless they comply with building codes and the landlord is.
New York S06729 amends the real property law to ensure tenants can install appliances or fixtures, provided they comply with building codes and the landlord consents in writing. Landlords cannot alter the unit's utilities or change the unit's nature for such installations. Landlords cannot charge a surcharge if tenants pay utilities directly to the provider. Tenants must restore appliances or fixtures to their original condition or leave them at no cost to the landlord when vacating.
