Expanding the prohibition against source of income discrimination in housing accommodations.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to expanding the prohibition against source of income discrimination in housing accommodations

Title 8 of the New York City Administrative Code prohibits source of income discrimination in housing. However, the prohibition against source of income discrimination does not apply to housing accommodations that contain a total of five or fewer housing units unless (1) a housing accommodation is rent-stabilized; or (2) the owner has a right to rent or lease in any building in the City that has six or more units. This bill would amend the Human Rights Law to prohibit source of income discrimination in all cases, regardless of the number of units in the housing accommodation.
