New York State lawmakers are currently considering Senate Bill S3082, also known as the "Good Cause Eviction" bill (GCE). GCE is a sweeping proposal that would apply to virtually all free-market housing accommodations in New York State; it would not apply to apartments already subject to rent regulation or owner-occupied buildings with fewer than four units (together with other very narrow exceptions). GCE's backers and opponents are engaged in intense lobbying efforts in Albany and throughout the state.
