What Happened: New York City has a law that bans commercial landlords from engaging in “harassment” to force tenants to vacate or waive lease rights via illegal threat of force or threats based on race, creed, color, age, etc. At the height of the first wave of the pandemic, the city temporarily expanded the harassment ban to cover threats related to rent against tenants impacted by COVID-19. The law also imposes a one-year ban on enforcement of personal guaranties for defaults resulting from COVID-19 closures.
