  Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 226-b of the real property law, as
added by chapter 403 of the laws of 1983, is amended to read as follows:
  4. With respect to units covered by the  emergency  tenant  protection
act  of  nineteen seventy-four or the rent stabilization law of nineteen
hundred sixty-nine the exercise of the rights granted  by  this  section
shall  be subject to the applicable provisions of such laws. IN THE CASE
OF SUCH UNITS, ANY REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MADE  PURSUANT  TO
PARAGRAPH  (C)  OF  SUBDIVISION  TWO OF THIS SECTION SHALL BE UPON FORMS
PROMULGATED BY THE DIVISION OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL  AND  SHALL
INCLUDE ONLY THOSE QUESTIONS PROVIDED BY THE DIVISION. Nothing contained
in this section [two hundred twenty-six-b] shall be deemed to affect the
rights, if any, of any tenant subject to [title Y of chapter 51] CHAPTER
THREE  OF TITLE TWENTY-SIX of the administrative code of the city of New
York or the emergency housing rent control law.
  S 2. Within thirty days after this act shall have become  a  law,  the
division of housing and community renewal shall promulgate such forms as
shall  be  required  to effectuate the provisions of section one of this
act. Such forms shall vary to accommodate the differing standards appli-
cable to subletting under the various laws and codes  governing  sublet-
ting.
  S  3.  This  act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to sub-
lease requests mailed to a landlord  on  or  after  the  date  the  form
provided  for  by this act is promulgated by the division of housing and
community renewal.
