Most residential eviction protection ended in New York on January 15, 2022. However, no tenant may be evicted for nonpayment of rent owed during the period March 7, 2020 to January 15, 2022. Additionally, if you have a pending application under the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), eviction must be stayed until the final determination of eligibility.

Several other provisions govern certain situations, such as the date that your case was started. Contact me for further information on this subject. www.peterjosephlaw.com
