Troy, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 46 § 46-1
Statutory authority
Operative Text
New York Real Property Law § 213 , Subdivision 1, provides that a city, other than the city of New York, acting through its local legislative body, may voluntarily adopt the provisions of Article 6-A, the Good Cause Eviction Law, by local law.
Troy, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 46 § 46-1 establishes the legal foundation for Troy's adoption of Good Cause Eviction protections by citing New York Real Property Law § 213, Subdivision 1, which permits cities outside New York City to opt into Article 6-A through local legislation. This provision does not itself create tenant rights or landlord obligations; it identifies the state-level authority that makes Troy's local law possible. The rule reflects a voluntary policy choice by Troy's legislative body to bring Good Cause Eviction standards into effect within city limits.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Troy, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 46 § 46-1, Troy's Good Cause Eviction framework derives its authority from New York Real Property Law § 213, Subdivision 1, meaning the city's opt-in was a deliberate legislative act with a clear statutory basis. Property owners and managers operating in Troy generally familiarize themselves with the full scope of ch. 46 to understand which obligations flow from this foundational authority. Because this provision anchors the entire local Good Cause Eviction scheme, compliance with the broader chapter depends on recognizing that the city's authority to regulate evictions in this manner is grounded in state law.
