Relates to the definition of residence and residential real property.

This bill aims to clarify what constitutes a 'residence' and 'residential real property' in New York State. By providing clearer definitions, the bill seeks to ensure that property laws and regulations are applied consistently and fairly. This could help both property owners and renters understand their rights and responsibilities better.

Supporters of the bill argue that clearer definitions of residence and residential real property will lead to greater transparency in property laws. They believe this will help protect tenants' rights and promote fair housing practices, ultimately benefiting the community as a whole.

Critics may argue that the bill could complicate existing property laws and create confusion among landlords and tenants. They might express concern that the new definitions could lead to unintended consequences, such as increased legal disputes or burdensome regulations for property owners.
