What New York Renters Need to Know

New York layers three protections: the federal FHA, the NY State Human Rights Law, and in the five boroughs the NYC Human Rights Law, which is interpreted more generously toward tenants than the federal statute. Co-op and condo boards are covered too, which matters because they are the toughest reviewers in the state.
