ENG & SP NY Updated Housing Laws question

October 2018

We updated our New York Housing Laws in the question If I am a victim of domestic violence, how can this law protect me? to add a link to the specific petition that a person would file to ask a judge to terminate their lease. Changes were made in Spanish and English.
