This bill makes technical corrections to New York's Good Cause Eviction Law, which took effect as part of the FY2024 budget in April 2024.

Good Cause Eviction gives eligible tenants:

• Guaranteed lease renewals and protection from no-reason evictions
• The right to challenge rent hikes above the lower of 10% or CPI+5% — the DHCR NYC-area figure was 8.79% as of April 2025

The technical fix clarifies which tenants are covered and how those rent-increase thresholds are calculated, closing gaps that have made the protections harder to enforce.
