Governor Signs Law Banning Most evictions and Foreclosures until May 1, 2021
On December 28, the state Legislature passed a statewide eviction ban for tenants facing hardships due to COVID-19 until at least May 1, 2021, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law (Chapter No. 381). The new law expands and strengthens the existing moratorium on evictions put into place through executive order by the governor, which was set to expire January 1. The law also places a moratorium on foreclosures and tax lien sales until May 1, 2021 for homeowners and multi-unit property owners with 10 or fewer units where the owner has a primary residence in one of the units.
