As of August 1, 2024 Good Cause Eviction Law Required DHCR Notice Introduction On April 20, 2024, Governor Hochul signed the Good Cause Eviction (“GCE”) law into effect. Under that law, on or before August 1st of each year, the Division of Housing and Community Renewal (“DHCR”) is required to publish the information contained in this notice. Geographic Applicability As of April 20, 2024, the GCE law is in effect in New York City pursuant to § 212 of the Real Property Law.1 Other villages, towns, or cities (collectively, “municipalities”) that wish to opt-in to the GCE law must pass a local law pursuant to § 213 of the Real Property Law. DHCR is required to publish a list of all municipalities, other than New York City, that have adopted a local law. The list includes the municipality name, the applicable percentage of fair market rent that will qualify as an exemption from the provisions of the GCE law adopted by the municipality, and the definition of small landlord adopted by the municipality. This list will be published annually, on or before August 1st of each year, along with the other information contained in this notice. As of the date of this notice, DHCR has received notice that the following municipalities have opted into the GCE law pursuant to § 213(1) of the Real Property Law: Municipality FMR Exemption Definition of Small Landlord City of Albany 345% “A landlord of no more than one unit anywhere in the State of New York.” City of Kingston 300% “A landlord of no more than one unit anywhere in the State of New York.” City of Poughkeepsie 345% “A landlord of no more than one unit anywhere in the State of New York.” City of Ithaca 345% “A landlord of no more than one unit anywhere in the State of New York.” 1 Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the GCE law, which govern the content of certain notices landlords must provide to tenants, do not go into effect until 120 days after April 20, 2024. Fair Market Rent and Fair Market Rent Percentage Exception Pursuant to §§ 213(2)(a) and 214(15) of the Real Property Law, rental units are not covered by the GCE law if they have a monthly rent above the applicable fair market rent threshold. In New York City and in any municipality other than New York City that adopts the GCE law and does not provide for a different fair market rent threshold, the GCE law does not cover a rental unit rented for more than 245% of fair market rent. Fair market rent is determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development by county. DHCR is required to publish fair market rent and 245% of fair market rent for each unit type, by county, on or before August 1st of each year. See the charts below for current fair market rent and 245% of current fair market rent.
