New York lawmakers to vote on extending eviction moratorium
New York lawmakers prepared to vote Wednesday on extending an eviction moratorium for tenants who fell behind on their rent because of hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, called the Legislature to return for an “extraordinary session” with a goal of putting evictions on hold until Jan. 15.
The Democrat-led Legislature had yet to release details of the legislation by midday Wednesday.
