Lost amid all the flash flooding news, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the newest eviction moratorium extension into law early Thursday morning — giving debt-riddled tenants a 4 1/2 month reprieve.

“The pandemic has created unimaginable anxiety for families and business owners who have lost income and are struggling to pay the rent every month,” Hochul said in a Sept. 2 statement. “To help remedy the Supreme Court’s heartless decisions striking down the New York and the Biden administration’s moratoriums on evictions, we are enacting a new moratorium on residential and commercial evictions and extending the protections of New York’s Safe Harbor Act to Jan. 15. These steps will alleviate the crisis facing vulnerable New Yorkers who are suffering through no fault of their own.”
