WHAT IS NEW YORK STATE’S DISCLOSURE LAW?
The “Disclosure of Disabled Tenants’ Rights” law (N.Y. Exec. Law Section 170-D), or “Disclosure Law,” provides important rights to all tenants. This law requires that landlords in New York State give their tenants clear and written notice of their right to reasonable accommodations and modifications for disabilities. Landlords are largely required to give this written notice to all their tenants in all new and all renewal leases.
