Albany, N.Y. New York lawmakers approved legislation Monday extending the state’s COVID eviction moratorium through the end of August.
The extension will cover residential and commercial tenants facing financial trouble due to the pandemic, and gives the state time to work out the details of a rent relief program baked into this year’s budget using $2.3 billion in federal emergency funding.
The measure continues a temporary stop on evictions and some foreclosures for renters and landlords who can attest that financial hardship due to the pandemic has prevented them from paying rent or mortgage.
