Unauthorized non-rent fees on rent bills.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to unauthorized non-rent fees on rent bills

Harassment is currently defined as performing one of a list of acts or omissions which causes or is intended to cause a tenant to leave their home. This bill would amend the harassment law to create a rebuttable presumption that including non-rent fees on a rent bill is intended to cause or did cause a tenant to leave their home.
