Governor Kathy Hochul has signed off on extending the state’s eviction moratorium Thursday, now extending the ban until January 15th, 2022, which is still short of the one-year extension some were hoping for.
The clock is ticking on eviction moratoriums. While the national eviction moratorium ends on July 31. New York State's runs a bit longer through the end of August.
State lawmakers have extended protection from evictions for another three months. But that is a double-edged sword, because it puts landlords in a tough spot as well.
