Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 1 of the Emergency Tenant Protection Act establishes the official short title of the law: the "Emergency Tenant Protection Act of Nineteen Seventy-Four." This naming provision allows courts, agencies, landlords, tenants, and the public to reference the statute by a consistent, recognized title. It does not itself create rights or obligations, but it anchors all subsequent provisions under a single, citable name.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating under New York's rent regulation framework should be aware that the law governing many of their obligations is formally titled the "Emergency Tenant Protection Act of Nineteen Seventy-Four," as established in N.Y. Unconsol. Law (ETPA) § 1. When reviewing leases, notices, or regulatory filings that reference this statute, using the correct short title helps ensure clarity and accuracy in documentation. Compliant operators generally use this official citation when corresponding with housing agencies or responding to regulatory inquiries.

For Tenants

N.Y. Unconsol. Law (ETPA) § 1 establishes the official name of the law that may provide rent protections in your locality: the "Emergency Tenant Protection Act of Nineteen Seventy-Four." Knowing this title can help when researching rights, reviewing housing court documents, or communicating with a local rent board or tenant-rights organization. While this particular section is a naming provision only, it serves as the entry point for the broader set of protections found throughout the ETPA.
