 February 27, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. SIMONE, R. CARROLL, COLTON, DINOWITZ, GALLAGHER,
 GLICK -- read once and referred to the Committee on Housing

 AN ACT to amend the emergency tenant protection act of nineteen seven-
 ty-four, in relation to protecting the home of a tenant sought by a
 landlord for personal use; and repealing certain provisions of the
 administrative code of the city of New York and the emergency housing
 rent control law relating to evictions for personal use

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph 1 of subdivision b of section 26-408 of the
 2 administrative code of the city of New York is REPEALED.
 3 § 2. Subparagraph (b) of paragraph 9 of subdivision c of section
 4 26-511 of the administrative code of the city of New York is REPEALED.
 5 § 3. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section 5 of chapter 274 of the
 6 laws of 1946, constituting the emergency housing rent control law, is
 7 REPEALED.
 8 § 4. Subdivision a of section 10 of section 4 of chapter 576 of the
 9 laws of 1974, constituting the emergency tenant protection act of nine-
 10 teen seventy-four, as amended by section 15 of part Q of chapter 39 of
 11 the laws of 2019, is amended to read as follows:
 12 a. For cities having a population of less than one million and towns
 13 and villages, the state division of housing and community renewal shall
 14 be empowered to implement this act by appropriate regulations. Such
 15 regulations may encompass such speculative or manipulative practices or
 16 renting or leasing practices as the state division of housing and commu-
 17 nity renewal determines constitute or are likely to cause circumvention
 18 of this act. Such regulations shall prohibit practices which are likely
 19 to prevent any person from asserting any right or remedy granted by this
 20 act, including but not limited to retaliatory termination of periodic
 21 tenancies and shall require owners to grant a new one or two year vacan-
 22 cy or renewal lease at the option of the tenant, except where a mortgage

 1 or mortgage commitment existing as of the local effective date of this
 2 act provides that the owner shall not grant a one-year lease; and shall
 3 prescribe standards with respect to the terms and conditions of new and
 4 renewal leases, additional rent and such related matters as security
 5 deposits, advance rental payments, the use of escalator clauses in leas-
 6 es and provision for increase in rentals for garages and other ancillary
 7 facilities, so as to ensure that the level of rent adjustments author-
 8 ized under this law will not be subverted and made ineffective. [Any] No
 9 provision of the regulations [permitting] shall permit an owner to
 10 refuse to renew a lease on grounds that the owner seeks to recover
 11 possession of a housing accommodation for [his or her] their own use and
 12 occupancy or for the use and occup
