As a renter, I feel that such protections are extremely important to my and other renters’ economic stability and also our ability to be invested members of the community and civic life here. Thank you. ==Please provide the following information== Your Name: Kio Stark Email Address: ==Address== Street: 110 Maple st City: Croton on Hudson State: New York Zipcode: 10520 Organization: Phone Number: The results of this submission may be viewed at: https://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/node/2/submission/35496 From: Jessica D To: Board of Trustees; Bryan Healy; Karen Stapleton Subject: Good cause rent eviction law Date: Wednesday, January 8, 2025 8:42:25 AM ***CAUTION: External sender.*** To the Board of Trustees,  I am against the proposed law called Good Cause Eviction. As written, the law will enhance the government’s ability to minimize peoples’ private property rights. This will result in reducing a key niche of housing in Croton, and in turn result in making only the properties the state deems appropriate for rent made available. It’s all a very underhanded tactic. Small scale landlords will be greatly affected and reduced in numbers which seems to be the goal.   If the law passes, private home rentals will decrease, and those that remain active will have higher rents from the beginning and longer and more complicated leasing contracts. Much of this is a moot point because before any of this gets off the ground people are no longer going to buy and maintain properties as rentals, and this will cut out a niche of housing that many residents need and find desirable.  What if a landlord needs to sell and they can’t because a tenant refuses to leave?   Do not pass this law and consider these points seriously. Please save my letter for the public record and read it at the meeting tonight. Jessica Dieckman Sent from my iPhone
