 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 March 14, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. CLEARE -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Housing, Construction and
 Community Development

 AN ACT to amend the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seven-
 ty-four, the administrative code of the city of New York and the real
 property tax law, in relation to reporting rent concessions

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative intent and findings. The legislature finds and
 2 declares that the use of rental concessions in rent stabilized apart-
 3 ments to charge one rent to tenants while reporting another rent to the
 4 division of housing and community renewal undermines the purposes of the
 5 rent stabilization laws. It is the intent of the legislature to clarify
 6 that, for the purposes of the emergency tenant protection act of nine-
 7 teen seventy-four or any successor legislation, the amount of rent
 8 charged to and paid by the tenant or any initial adjusted monthly rent
 9 charged and paid refers to the net effective rent, which sum shall
 10 reflect the value of any rental concession. In order to effectuate the
 11 meaning and intent of the rent stabilization laws, rents reported to the
 12 division should equal the net effective rent paid by a tenant based upon
 13 the value of any and all concessions, and in this respect the applica-
 14 tion of the law will be facilitated by including rental concessions and
 15 their value in annual rent registration statements.
 16 § 2. Subdivision f of section 12-a of section 4 of chapter 576 of the
 17 laws of 1974, constituting the emergency tenant protection act of 1974,
 18 as added by chapter 403 of the laws of 1983, is amended to read as
 19 follows:
 20 f. An annual statement shall be filed containing the current rent for
 21 each unit and such other information contained in subdivision a of this
 22 section as shall be required by the division. The owner shall provide
 23 each tenant then in occupancy with a copy of that portion of such annual

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 S. 6452 2

 1 statement as pertains to the tenant's unit. Such annual statement shall
 2 also contain information relating to any and all concessions granted for
 3 a unit and, in any case where a concession includes a discount on rent
 4 paid for a unit by the tenant, the current rent for each unit reported
 5 by the owner to the division shall equal the net effective rent for such
 6 unit based upon the value of such concession.
 7 (1) For the purposes of this subdivision, the term "concession" shall
 8 mean any temporary adjustment to a lease intended to induce a tenant to
 9 sign or renew such lease, including without limitation a rebate,
 10 discount, waiver, license agreement, proration, money payment, or phys-
 11 ical good or service or access thereto.
 12 (2) For the purposes of this subdivision, the term "net effective
 13 rent" shall mean the average monthly rent charged to and paid by a
 14 tenant over the duration of a tenant's occupancy of a unit pursuant to
 15 an unexpired lease and any related rider or agreement.
 16 § 3. Subdivision f of section 26-517 of the administra
