Relates to the recovery of attorneys fees in certain summary proceedings between a cooperative housing corporation and a shareholder or occupant of such corporation

Summary

The bill amends New York’s real‑property actions law so that a cooperative housing corporation can seek attorney fees in a summary proceeding against a shareholder or occupant, but only when the proprietary lease or occupancy agreement expressly allows such recovery. It does not apply to co‑ops covered by specific articles of the Private Housing Finance Law. The change takes effect immediately.
