New York State Eviction Ban Extended Enter your number to get our free mobile app The New York State Legislature held an emergency session to debate, and pass, the COVID-19 Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act (Senate Bill S9114 / Assembly Bill A11181) which aims to help prevent tenants and homeowners who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 from losing their housing due from being evicted, or foreclosed on by their bank. The eviction and foreclosure moratorium is extended until May 1st. The new law also extends certain homeowner tax exemptions like the Senior Citizens' and Disabled Homeowner exemptions. From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic we have understood that housing security must be an essential part of our effort to protect the health and wellbeing of all New Yorkers. By enacting this comprehensive residential eviction and foreclosure moratorium, we are delivering real protection for countless renters and homeowners who would otherwise be at risk of losing their homes, adding to the unprecedented hardship that so many are facing.
