Provides criteria for determining whether an individual is a transient occupant

Summary

The bill changes New York’s real‑property law to tell courts how to decide if someone staying in a hotel or rooming house is a transient occupant rather than a tenant. It requires looking at factors like another primary residence, mail, employment location and the purpose of the stay. It also clarifies that squatters are not tenants and that lawful occupants can only be removed through a special proceeding.
