New Resources To Fight Against Eviction

Press release from the Carroll Gardens Association:

February 2 2021

Important new resources from our partners at Right to Counsel NYC Coalition, Just Fix, and Housing Justice for All.

On December 28, 2020, New York tenants won new eviction protections with the passage of the COVID-19 Emergency Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention Act. The new law stops almost all evictions, eviction proceedings, and new cases until February 26th. Also, if you have been financially impacted by COVID-19 in any way or if moving would pose a health risk to you or your family, you can delay your eviction until at least May 1st, by filling out a hardship declaration form and submitting it to your landlord, the court or both. This new website, helps tenants do just that!
