State Specific Question About: NEW YORK (NY)

Freedom and liberty are NOT passed down through the generations -

SELL & MOVE - NOW !!!!!!

My best friend was a CPA quit NYS and sold his firm and would rather live as a pauper than put up with Stalag NY.

Your freedom to move is one of the last freedoms. Your money use to be free to do with what you want - one Party on its own made you buy health Insurance -

Just piggybacking onto NHSailmaker's excellent point-- that's one of the reasons why the Founders protected State powers, and kept the Federal government limited. That way, you could have (13) (50) (however many) experiments in government running simultaneously, without cratering the whole country. However, since FDR, there's been a lot of federal overreach and a general homogenization as a result.

But the intent was-- if you didn't like how CT dealt with gun control, you could move to TX. If you didn't like how CA dealt with taxes, you could move to MT. If you didn't like how GA dealt with marriage, you could move to MA. If you didn't like how NJ dealt with ll/tenant law, you could move to CO. Or whatever. And if enough people were disaffected by what the government opted to do, that they voted with their feet... then they could look at themselves, in theory, and say, "Look at the business growth in IN... what's IN doing that makes them so successful? Perhaps we should copy them?" and at the same time, say, "Ew, look at VT. What are they doing? There's no way we're doing that."

So, yeah. I grew up without roots, because my Dad was Navy... but it was a conscious decision to stay in TX.

I still haven't seen nor heard about this new law. They obviously kept it out of the news. I'm not returning ANYTHING prior to whatever was signed. Too bad for them - they can sue if they want. I'll have them sign my new leases indicating that the SD is the same amount as the rent BUT there are now other "deposits" that are invoked.

Don't like it? Don't rent from me. That's all that this does - makes landlords end up changing what they collect and how. I don't typically do first, last and security because I "upped" my security that if someone starts to "slip" if I feel they are jerking my chain I immediately start eviction. I typically will be even.

Now that they are changing the laws I'm thinking of doing last month. What's that going to do? It's going to make all these people NOT be able to move because they have to come up with THREE TIMES the rent instead of two (first and security). THEN, NY will change that you can't ask for last month rent.

Somewhere (probably on here) someone posted that they are making it more difficult to do evictions in NY too … no more "3 Day Pay or Quit" … I haven't seen that either (when I look it up it still states these - so who knows.

It's weird to me that this was enacted without any written guide (either in the law itself or otherwise released) explaining what to do with existing deposits over the one-month limit. I mean, they had to have known that there were lots of them out there -- it's just crazy to me to introduce new law lowering this limit without any information for LLs on how to handle that change.

Also, 14 days is so short for deposit return/accounting! Good luck, people!

If you are NOT planning of moving from STALAG NYS.... then you are part of the astronomical NYS problem

There is absolutely no hope for that so-called state. I use to work in NYC in RE and that rapid change for the worse under an avowed Socialist Mayor is so startling its is amazing anyone lives there

I was born and raised in Cooperstown NY and my friends and family only cross back over the DMZ in an Emergency.

It was the Empire State...... but now is the STALAG state

Same applies to CA and IL and others

One month's SD only after a year of tenancy? Holy cow! And I was annoyed that PA would only let me keep one YEAR'S worth of SD after a year of tenancy.

Ken NY your post about you can't fight the whole city-- isn't that what would have happened in the general election 2.5 years ago? California and NY would have elected the president-- not the whole country.

My question is: how in god's name did the writers of the constitution know this?

Ny is now allowing illegals to get DV licenses and here is the good part-- in NY if you have a DV lic that's all you need to vote. 46 of our states will not license illegals--BUT NOT NY-- WELCOME ALL.
