Renters and property owners face increased concerns about tenant screening, security costs, and legal protections. May drive demand for better background checks and security measures, increasing housing-related expenses for landlords and potentially rental costs for tenants.
Potential regulatory responses include stricter tenant vetting requirements, enhanced property security standards, improved illegal occupancy detection mechanisms, and landlord liability reforms. May accelerate enforcement of housing code violations and squatter prevention legislation in NYC.
