NY Gov extends eviction moratorium

[George K]

Executive Order

New York state now boasts the strongest tenant protections in the nation.

On Thursday, Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law the extension of the eviction moratorium for homes and businesses, after part of it was struck down last month by the Supreme Court.

But as CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported, struggling landlords say nearly two years of no rent is too long.

Eric Thompson said he worries he won’t be able to hold onto his Lindenhurst home, because a tenant won’t pay rent and won’t get out, despite his offers “to forgive the rent and give her money to move. She’s like, ‘No, I’m staying.'”

While he’s paying all the utilities, taxes, mortgage and maintenance.

Righteousness answers to a higher law. Fuck laws, and fuck the constitution, if it gets between progressives, and doing what is right.

This is crazy

There is no way the governor can get away with this

But I know she is doing it

This is immoral.

I'll be interesting to see if any landlords (who still have to pay mortgages, taxes, etc) bring suit against the state.

This is immoral.

No, it was immoral a year ago. Now it’s insane…

I wonder how many help wanted signs she passed on her way to sign this order.
