S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7193 2021-2022 Regular Sessions I N S E N A T E June 5, 2021 ___________ Introduced by Sen. KAVANAGH -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules AN ACT to apply the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 to rent calculations and rent records maintenance and destruction THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares that: (a) the pool of rent regulated apartments in New York state contains an unacceptably high number of apartments in which the current rents are based on prior rents that exceeded the legal regulated rent at the time they were charged, but for which remedies were limited under the law in effect before the effective date of the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA); (b) it is public policy prospectively to reduce, insofar as possible, those rents to a level in line with what they would have been in the absence of the unlawful rent setting and deregulations that were permit- ted under prior law to go unremedied, and therefore to impose the rent calculation standards of the HSTPA prospectively from the date of its enactment, including in cases where the pre-HSTPA rent has already been established by a court or administrative agency; (c) the purpose of the prospective application of the penalty and record review provisions of the HSTPA is to prevent the perpetual collection of unlawful and inflated rents, and to encourage the volun- tary registration of any rent stabilized apartment for which any prior annual registration statement has not been filed, and to encourage the voluntary recalculation of unreliable pre-HSTPA rents; (d) in light of court decisions arising under the HSTPA of 2019, including REGINA METRO V. DHCR, it is public policy that the legislature define clearly the prospective reach of that law, and limit, to the extent required by the constitution, the retroactive reach of that law; EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
