County Executive Ryan creates new unit to assist those facing evictions and other tenants’ issues during COVID-19
KINGSTON, NY - County Executive Pat Ryan announced today the creation of a new unit to exclusively review tenant complaints related to COVID-19. The COVID-19 Tenant Protection Unit, staffed by members of the Ulster County Public Defender's Office, will assure that tenants’ rights are being protected through Governor Andrew Cuomo’s “New York on Pause” order, which put all commercial or residential eviction under a 90-day moratorium.
