Operative words
do hereby continue the suspensions and modifications of law, and any directives, not superseded by a subsequent directive, made by Executive Order 202 and each successor Executive Order up to and including Executive Order 202.14, for thirty days until June 6, 2020... no landlord, lessor, sub-lessor or grantor shall demand or be entitled to any payment, fee or charge for late payment of rent occurring during the time period from March 20, 2020, through August 20, 2020... Landlords shall provide such relief to tenants or licensees who so request it that are eligible for unemployment insurance or benefits under state or federal law or are otherwise facing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Enforcement
Executive Law 29-a; Real Property Law provisions as modified
Notes
Also restored certain hospital and mental-hygiene regulations May 8, 2020 and modified Criminal Procedure Law suspensions
Retrieval noteThe order's extension of the eviction moratorium to Aug. 20, 2020 for hardship tenants is recited in later orders (EO 202.70, 202.81 refer to 'the directive in Executive Order 202.28 that relates to eviction'); the rendered text read here shows the late-fee bar and security-deposit provisions.
