New York S09719 amends the real property law to provide legal recourse for tenants injured by landlords refusing to rent based on past or pending.

New York S09719 amends the real property law by adding a new provision allowing injured tenants to seek legal action against landlords who refuse to rent based on past or pending landlord-tenant disputes. The injured tenant can sue for temporary and permanent injunctive relief, damages, and attorney's fees. The lawsuit can be filed within two years of when the tenant should have reasonably discovered the violation. This action does not prevent the attorney general from also pursuing legal action against the landlord.
