Good Cause Eviction Law opt-in
Operative Text
The Village of Nyack opts in to, and adopts all of the provisions of, the NYS Good Cause Eviction Law (RPL Article 6-a), as same be amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein by reference, except as may be modified in this chapter.
Section 217-2 of Nyack's Code of Ordinances formally brings the New York State Good Cause Eviction Law (Real Property Law Article 6-a) into effect within the Village of Nyack. By opting in, Nyack adopts all of the state law's tenant protections and landlord obligations as local law, with any local modifications set out elsewhere in Chapter 217. The provision also ensures that future state-level amendments to Article 6-a automatically apply in Nyack unless the local chapter provides otherwise.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Nyack Code § 217-2, rental property owners and managers operating in the Village of Nyack are subject to the full framework of New York State's Good Cause Eviction Law (RPL Article 6-a) as a matter of local law. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the grounds for eviction, notice requirements, and rent-increase standards established by Article 6-a, and monitor any state-level amendments that may automatically become part of Nyack's local requirements. Any local modifications to those state standards are found elsewhere in Chapter 217 and should be reviewed alongside the state statute.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 217-2 means that tenants residing in the Village of Nyack benefit from the protections of New York State's Good Cause Eviction Law (RPL Article 6-a), which limits the grounds on which a landlord may seek eviction and places standards on rent increases. Tenants who believe a landlord's actions conflict with these protections may raise a Good Cause Eviction defense in housing court proceedings or seek information from a local tenant-rights organization familiar with both the state law and Nyack's Chapter 217 modifications. Because the provision incorporates future state amendments automatically, tenants may also want to stay informed about any changes to Article 6-a that could affect their rights.
