ALBANY, N.Y. – The New York State Senate and Assembly passed a bill Monday to extend the suspension of residential and commercial evictions through the end of August.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the COVID-19 Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2020 in March to ensure no residents would be displaced during the coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 Emergency Protect Our Small Businesses Act of 2021 was then signed in January to protect small businesses also experiencing financial hardship.
ALBANY â Tenants, landlords and property owners months behind on rent or property taxes can start applying for billions of dollars of available relief at the end of the month, officials said, as the state Legislature voted Monday to extend the stateâs eviction moratorium four more months.
Until Monday, state executives did not release a time frame or other details as New York waits to distribute its total $2.4 billion in Emergency Rental Assistance Program COVID-19 rent relief for tenants, homeowners, small landlords and business owners. The state budgeted $100 million toward the fund.
Between 800,000 and 1.2 million households are behind in paying rent of the stateâs 4.1 million tenant households, lawmakers have said, citing statistics from state housing agencies.
