A 96-year-old Brooklyn landlord says he can't evict a tenant who hasn't paid rent since 2019 because of a loophole in the Emergency Rental Assistance Program. NatDuddridgeTV reports.
-- For months, CBS2 has been reporting on landlords of smaller properties,"mom and pop" landlords, who say their tenants have not paid rent in years. The problem was exacerbated by the pandemic.
Pantano said 80 percent of his retirement income comes from the two-bedroom condo on Benson Avenue inPantano filed to evict the tenant in 2019. A court date was set for April 2020, but COVID hit and an eviction moratorium took effect. "The only thing that's holding it up, it seems is the ERAP," he said.
At first, landlords hoped it would help. But housing attorney Andrew Lieb said many tenants are using ERAP as a loophole. New York City's housing court said there are approximately 75,000 cases currently awaiting decisions. Dinowitz, one of ERAP's cosponsors, acknowledged the program is far from perfect.
