Landlords

The house has been sold after a lot of paint was used to cover up all of these horrible things. The tenants 'kicked and screamed' on the way out and it wasn't pretty. In the end it was over $16,000 of owed rent.

If you are a renter you should know these laws to protect you or prepare you in certain situations. The New York State Attorney General has updated laws regarding landlords and tenants on the New York State website.

If you have someone who is a horrible tenant, look how long they can LEGALLY and technically live in your rental unit! An entire year! The new Attorney General, Letitia James, has a section outlining new protection for evictions, according to the New York State website:

Do residents of a rental building or community have the legal right to organize meetings to discuss shared issues with landlords?

How much can your landlord charge you for a security deposit? Can my landlord increase my rent? Do I have to pay for my own background check for an apartment? There are so many new laws in Western New York and the entire State of New York, especially after the pandemic has begun.
