Good Cause Eviction for Tenant Rights

Cities like Albany and Syracuse have opted into Good Cause Eviction, a tenants' rights and protections law. Why has Buffalo hesitated?

On this episode of The Public Good, PUSH Buffalo and Buffalo DSA join us to debunk Good Cause Eviction and demand Buffalo opt-in to this current New York State legislation.

Good Cause Eviction was passed in New York State in April 2024 to protect tenants in unregulated rental housing units in New York City, cities in upstate jurisdictions could opt in to this law by choice.

The law protects renters from price gouging, rent hikes, retaliatory evictions, and more. The law maintains “good causes” as grounds for legal evictions.
