State's largest group representing landlords has put new governor and the legislature on notice. They will unleash a flurry of legal action if eviction ban slated to expire 31 August 2021 (that's tomorrow, Tuesday), is extended.
Democrats in assembly and senate want to extend NYS's eviction ban again this time until January 2022, but landlords are saying they can't have it.
Not for nothing much of this mess lies squarely with Albany.
State got eff tons of money from first federal stimulus for rent/housing assistance, then piled on tens of billions more in last stimulus package. To date NYS has barely given out less than 10% of that money.
People apply and then things go into a black hole. They don't hear anything for the several weeks (or months now) it takes for a decision to be made. That or either tenant and or LL are asked to resubmit documents they already sent.
Of course liberal, progressive, socialist democrats who hate landlords anyway have used covid crisis to stick it to property owners four thousand ways from Sunday.
In reality virtually none of the hundreds of bad things Albany and city hall predicted would happen to state or city due to covid have happened.
Il Duce and Sam The Eagle were wailing how state and city would see drastic declines in revenue leading to huge budget cuts. That didn't happen, in fact quite the reverse, state and city raked in huge sums in tax, fee, and surcharge revenue. Schumer and Biden came though and kicked down from Washington, D.C. an eff ton of federal stimulus money that piled onto those surpluses.
Even if eviction ban ends tomorrow it's not like housing courts are anywhere near capable of dealing with massive amounts of new filings.
It took on average over a year to evict a tenant in NYC normally *before* covid. What makes Albany or whoever think that timeline will be speeded up now?
