Middletown considers ‘good cause’ eviction in public hearing

Middletown resident Vanessa Cid is a community organizer with the housing advocacy group For the Many. She urged the council to set its definition of “small landlords” — who are exempted from the law — to include landlords with just one unit in New York state, the smallest measure possible.

“This way ‘good cause’ can apply to as many tenants as possible, and avoid corporate landlords exploiting this as a loophole by creating multiple LLCs,” says Cid.
