Tenant advocates fought hard to get even these “light” protections for renters. The village Board of Trustees seemed favorable at its latest work session.
I recently came across an older gentleman in Rockland County who was selling his home because he could no longer afford paying the property taxes. He had a tenant living in his first floor who owed him over $20k in back rent for the whole last year and he couldn’t evict her - a single mom who lost her job and simply stopped paying her rent. Unfortunate situation for both. A cautionary tale for me as a homeowner.
Oh my god! Now these terrible trustees and Mayor want to adopt the same anti landlord rules that are in large cities such as NYC and Albany!!!! So if you rent a room to someone in your house and they are a problem or if your circumstances change you will now have to jump through hoops to remove them! My girlfriend in Brooklyn was renting a room and the tenant started threatening them and they had to leave their own house because NYC law prevented them from evicting the tenant! OMG!!! This will soon happen here in Croton! We must get rid of these horrible trustees and the Mayor asap! Make sure to write in Gary Eisinger and Nigel Ravelo starting with early voting at the croton municipal building on Oct. 26. You can register to vote online before Oct 26 if you need to.
The law would not apply to the kinds of situations that you are talking about. It does not apply to people renting a room in their house and that kind of thing. it would be good If you did a little research before you made comments, which could end up misinforming others reading this. I should add that neither Gary nor Nigel are on record about any other issue than housing development in the village, so for all we know they might actually support this relatively weak tenant protection legislation.
How about a law to protect homeowners from excessive real estate taxes, utility rate increases, and repair costs.
