New York Extends Eviction Moratorium To May

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed an emergency bill extending New York's eviction ban until May, which was previously set to expire on January 1st. The bill applies to pandemic-related evictions, requiring renters to provide documentation of financial hardship. It also protects small landlords from foreclosure. However, New York's largest landlord association opposed the bill, fearing it might lead employed tenants to stop paying rent.
