Creating a rebuttable presumption regarding harassment.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creating a rebuttable presumption regarding harassment

Under current harassment law a tenant has to show that an owner committed a harassing act or omission which caused or was intended to cause such tenant to vacate the dwelling. This bill creates a rebuttable presumption that where an owner commits one of a list of harassing acts or omissions, such act or omission constitutes harassment.
