| * | Keith Powers | | Proposed Int. No. 2082-A | Prohibition against discrimination in housing accommodations based on lawful source of income. | Introduction | Prohibitions against discrimination in housing accommodations based on lawful source of income currently do not apply to housing accommodations comprised of five or fewer units. This bill removes this exception, but maintains existing exceptions that apply to all types of discrimination in housing accommodations. This bill also clarifies the definition of “lawful source of income” to align more closely with State law and include all lawful income that low-income New Yorkers may receive, such as child support, alimony, and other types of housing assistance. | Hearing Held by Committee | |
