OPEN, 1/22/20


On this week’s Open TV I discussed two issues facing Landlords and Employers in 2020: 
2020 brought in much needed reforms to the rent overcharge law.  The most significant change was the ability to now open for examination the entire rental history of the apartment, from the beginning of time.  The Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 is now part of our everyday life. 
Also, the Stop Sexual Harassment in NYC Act, which imposed new requirements on employers relating to sexual harassment prevention, is now if full force and effect.  An individual complaining of harassment need not prove the challenged conduct was “severe or pervasive”, but merely that it “subjects an individual to inferior terms…of employment”.  It’s a big win for employees.
The segment is now online.
