    This is just a terrible situation but ultimatelly landlords have an absolute legal right to collect overdue rent. Neither the city nor state have placed a moratorium on landlords property taxes or water bills.

    The eviction moratorium has allowed people who are not experiencing hardship to hide behind it and not pay the landlord. There needs to be accountability and proper vetting for who is protected under this and can receive funds for relief. Landlords are being subjected to substantial property damage, threats from tenants, and continued ” free” housing of tenants who have not even attempted to pay ANY rent- because “Cuomo said they can’t be evicted”. Landlords can’t even get into courts to evict tenants who may pose a threat/ nuisance to others in the building. And to say that tenants are ultimately responsible to pay the rent is a joke- to be able to collect will be close to impossible.

      ALL that you stated is true. Us landlords work hard contributing to society, while such tenants who even have the means states “they cannot be evicted and rent should be cancelled”. The CDC should simply say shelters are closed and keep it as that, not hurt the property owner. As a landlord, I have even applied a few months ago for “NY rent relief” on 2 different NY programs, and not a single has responded back.

    This universal eviction moratorium will be remembered as the time when many small homeowners — who provide 28 percent of the city’s housing stock — decided that they no longer wanted to be landlords, and might leave the city altogether. Without any legal recourse, many of us are being abused by tenants who take advantage of the moratorium and not only stop paying rent but violate their lease in any way they want. I have been threatened, harassed, and assaulted by my tenant, and even though he was arrested and I have an order of protection against him, I can’t evict him. I’m forced to live in fear in my own house. And while it will be hard to ever collect the thousands of dollars the tenant owes me, the bank will be able to foreclose on my home in no time. Meanwhile, the tenant is enjoying his state-sanctioned ability to ignore the lease and make my life miserable, destroying my mental health in the process. This is what the universal moratorium on evictions does to small homeowners, and it will be a sizable stain on Gov. Cuomo’s record.

        Daniel, you need to get a job and stop depending on others to support you. The time you spend protesting, go online and look for work, go on a job interview. The government has to stop you’ll. You can’t live free forever, there will come a day that you have to pay back rent, and will eventually be evicted if you dont pay. If it’s anyone who is a cry baby its you! Grow up and actually get a life.

        Lazy bum go work stop depending on other. Grown up adult with a kid size brain.

        People like you are the reason society get spoiled. From childhood parents teaches us never to steal and to learn to take responsibility , work hard and be independent. It look like your parents failed on this.

        To cheat landlord and live for free is wrong. Karma will catch up with you.

      I feel your pain

      In a similar situation. I feel your pain.

      For me this is principal.
      If the nyc city/cdc/govt officials want to keep a priority and not displace people during the pandemic, then they should either foot the rent bill on the tennants behalf directly to landlords or move non paying or illegaly occupying tenants to one of the many vacant office and residential buildings that NYC now has to avoid being displaced. Landlords should not provide free housing to people. It looks like the city saved a ton of money by making landlords provide free shelter and water all while at the same time city officials collect their nyc property taxes. This is discrimination against landlords. There should be a class action law suit for landlords against the city for landlords to have to pay nyc property taxes and water bill all while at same time provide free shelter.

      Prior to pandemic, it costs the city some thousands dollars a month to support a shelter for an individual/ family. Now this is a way for the city to pass that cost to the landlords and at the same time look “good” when it comes time to reelection. .

      If there is a good attorney that can represent landlords in this situation as a class action lawsuit against the city, that would be the fair thing to do on behalf of landlords stuck in this financial situation. I am stuck just like the rest of the landlords and frustrated with the officials and “pandemic rules” that discriminate against landlords.

    On January 2, 2021, the CDC will issue another extension to the Tent moratorium; as it is a health concern to evict 1000s during a pandemic.

        Do you have that article / source where it states that evictions moratorium might be extended past Jan 1 2020? I would like to read that if you have that.

    What New York is doing is against the constitution. Taking and controlling property.

    Small landlord worked their whole life to buy their property. They sacrifice themselves and their families to build their nest to take care of them during retirement.
    They do not get public assistance, nor any 401k or any retirement plan to depend on.

    Small landlord are not rich. They are not big corporate that are rich and getting government bailout.

    NYS is encouraging people not to work and to steal. What example are they setting.

    To all the tenants using and cheating the system and to the government trying to buy votes to secure their seat by stealing and hurting landlords, remember what goes around comes around.
