Far left NY is contemplating a bill that will prevent landlords from evicting tenants, except for good cause.

This bill is supposed to be pro-tenant. However, if enacted into legislation, you will see more Air B&B places, stricter background checks, higher rents, and lower rental units.
After all, why take the risk of renting to a borderline tenant while the case goes through the court system? Instead, raise the rent while the bill is moving its way to the governor's desk and change the background check to ensure you never rent to a "troublemaker". This will disqualify several people who may have paid their rent on time and never caused any real trouble.
There is a way to draft bills that create a positive landlord-tenant relationship for all sides. However, in typical fashion, the NY State legislature has missed the mark again.
