Eviction Protection
*However, this law is not universal. An exception is cases where the landlord alleges that the tenant’s ongoing behavior disturbs other tenants or that the tenant is creating a safety hazard. Also, Upstate the landlords and courts are ignoring these protections all together.
Case Study B
If you have been impacted by COVID financially in any way or if moving would pose a health risk to you or your family, you can delay your eviction or eviction case until at least August 31st!*
