                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6473

 TITLE OF BILL :  An act to amend the penal law, in relation to
harassment of a rent regulated tenant

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to better protect tenants from the
egregious misconduct of unscrupulous landlords by broadening the
definition of the class E felony offense of Harassment of a Rent
Regulated Tenant and by establishing a related class A misdemeanor
offense in Article 241 of the Penal Law.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section 1 establishes the title of the Act as the "Tenant Protection
Act of 2017."

Section 2 of the bill amends Penal Law Article 241 to create the new
class A misdemeanor offense of harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant
in the Second Degree (PL section 241.02). This new crime is committed
when an owner, with the intent to induce a rent regulated tenant to
vacate their housing accommodation, intentionally engages in a course
of conduct that: (a) impairs the habitability of a housing
accommodation; (b) creates or maintains a condition which endangers
the safety or health of the tenant: or (c) is reasonably likely to,

and does in fact. interfere with or disturb the comfort, repose, peace
or quiet of such tenant in their use and occupancy of such housing
accommodation. This new PL section includes a provision stating that
"the good faith commencement and pursuit of a lawful eviction action"
by an owner against a rent regulated tenant shall not, by itself,
constitute a -course of conduct" in violation of subdivision three of
that section.

Section 3 of the bill renames the existing class E felony offense of
Harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant as Harassment of a Rent
Regulated Tenant in the First Degree.

Section 3 also expands the definition of the existing class E felony
offense to include conduct by an owner who. with the intent to induce
two or more rent regulated tenants occupying different housing
accommodations to vacate their units. intentionally engages in a
"systematic ongoing course of conduct- that: (a) impairs the
habitability of such housing.; accommodations: (b) creates or
maintains a condition which endangers the safety or health of one or
more of the rent regulated tenants: or (c) is reasonably likely to,
and does in fact, interfere with or disturb the comfort, repose, peace
or quiet of one or more of such tenants in their use and occupancy of
such housing accommodations. This expanded definition includes a
provision stating that "the good faith commencement and pursuit of a
lawful eviction action" by an owner against a rent regulated tenant
shall not, by itself, constitute a "systematic ongoing course of
conduct" in violation of paragraph (c) of subdivision two of that
section.

Section 3 further expands the definition of the existing class F
felony offense to include the commission by an owner of the newly
created class A misdemeanor offense of I harassment of a Rent
Regulated Tenant in the Second Degree after having been convicted
within the past five years of that offense or Harassment of a Rent
Regulated Tenant in the First Degree.

Section 4 amends the definition of "rent regulated tenant" in Penal
Law section 241.00 to also include "any lawful successor to the
tenancy."

Section 5 establishes the effective date of the Act as 180 days after
it shall have become a law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Affordable housing is an increasingly scarce resource in many parts of
New York. Resulting market forces tend to reward unscrupulous
landlords who go to extraordinary lengths to force tenants to vacate
their rent regulated homes. Unfortunately, the existing Penal Law
statute intended to protect tenants from these unconscionable acts has
been wholly ineffective.

Under the existing Harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant statute, a
prosecutor must not only prove that the offending landlord intended to
cause the tenant to vacate their home, he or she also must prove that
the tenant sustained physical injury due to the landlord's actions and
that the landlord actually intended to cause (or acted with criminal
recklessness in causing) such injury. In so doing, the existing
statute fixes an inexplicably high bar that, in the nearly two decades
since the law was enacted, has never been met. In fact, DCJS records
show that not a single landlord has ever been convicted of that crime.

By creating a new misdemeanor tenant harassment offense and expanding
the existing felony definition to eliminate the need to prove physical
injury to a rent regulated tenant and a landlord's specific intent to
cause it, this bill will go a long way toward providing real
protections for tenants who, until now, have been the innocent victims
both of their own landlords and of an ineffective Penal Law statute.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

New bill.

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :

None

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
The Act takes effect 180 days after it shall have become a law.

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the penal law, in relation to harass-
ment of a rent regulated tenant

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to better protect tenants from the egregious
misconduct of unscrupulous landlords by broadening the definition of the
class E felony offense of Harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant and by
establishing a related class A misdemeanor offense in Article 241 of the
Penal Law.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 establishes the title of the Act as the "Tenant Protection Act
of 2018."

Section 2 of the bill amends Penal Law Article 241 to create the new
class A misdemeanor offense of harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant in

the Second Degree (PL section 241.02). This new crime is committed when
an owner, with the intent to induce a rent regulated tenant to vacate
their housing accommodation, intentionally engages in a course of
conduct that: (a) impairs the habitability of a housing accommodation;
(b) creates or maintains a condition which endangers the safety or
health of the tenant: or (c) is reasonably likely to, and does in fact.
interfere with or disturb the comfort, repose, peace or quiet of such
tenant in their use and occupancy of such housing accommodation. This
new PL section includes a provision stating that "the good faith
commencement and pursuit of a lawful eviction action" by an owner
against a rent regulated tenant shall not, by itself, constitute a
-course of conduct" in violation of subdivision three of that section.

Section 3 of the bill renames the existing class E felony offense of
Harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant as Harassment of a Rent Regulated
Tenant in the First Degree.

Section 3 also expands the definition of the existing class E felony
offense to include conduct by an owner who. with the intent to induce
two or more rent regulated tenants occupying different housing accommo-
dations to vacate their units. intentionally engages in a "systematic
ongoing course of conduct- that: (a) impairs the habitability of such
housing.; accommodations: (b) creates or maintains a condition which
endangers the safety or health of one or more of the rent regulated
tenants: or (c) is reasonably likely to, and does in fact, interfere
with or disturb the comfort, repose, peace or quiet of one or more of
such tenants in their use and occupancy of such housing accommodations.
This expanded definition includes a provision stating that "the good
faith commencement and pursuit of a lawful eviction action" by an owner
against a rent regulated tenant shall not, by itself, constitute a
"systematic ongoing course of conduct" in violation of paragraph (c) of
subdivision two of that section.

Section 3 further expands the definition of the existing class F felony
offense to include the commission by an owner of the newly created class
A misdemeanor offense of I harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant in the
Second Degree after having been convicted within the past five years of

that offense or Harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant in the First
Degree.

Section 4 amends the definition of "rent regulated tenant" in Penal Law
section 241.00 to also include "any lawful successor to the tenancy."

Section 5 establishes the effective date of the Act as 180 days after it
shall have become a law.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Affordable housing is an increasingly scarce resource in many parts of
New York. Resulting market forces tend to reward unscrupulous landlords
who go to extraordinary lengths to force tenants to vacate their rent
regulated homes. Unfortunately, the existing Penal Law statute intended
to protect tenants from these unconscionable acts has been wholly inef-
fective.

Under the existing Harassment of a Rent Regulated Tenant statute, a
prosecutor must not only prove that the offending landlord intended to
cause the tenant to vacate their home, he or she also must prove that
the tenant sustained physical injury due to the landlord's actions and
that the landlord actually intended to cause (or acted with criminal
recklessness in causing) such injury. In so doing, the existing statute
fixes an inexplicably high bar that, in the nearly two decades since the
law was enacted, has never been met. In fact, DCJS records show that not
a single landlord has ever been convicted of that crime.

By creating a new misdemeanor tenant harassment offense and expanding
the existing felony definition to eliminate the need to prove physical
injury to a rent regulated tenant and a landlord's specific intent to
cause it, this bill will go a long way toward providing real protections
for tenants who, until now, have been the innocent victims both of their
own landlords and of an ineffective Penal Law statute.
