Executive Order 202.78 Extends Eviction Protections for Residential Tenants
On Nov. 27th, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued Executive Order (EO) 202.78 to extend the modifications made to the Tenant Safe Harbor Act in EOs 202.66 and 202.71. The purpose of these EOs was to continue to prevent the execution or enforcement of warrants or judgments of eviction for residential tenants suffering financial hardship during the COVID-19 state disaster emergency through Jan. 1, 2021. The bar on the execution or enforcement of these warrants or judgments includes those cases where such warrant or judgment was granted prior to March 7, 2020.
