"As if tenants facing eviction were not vulnerable enough, this lawsuit goes a step further to strip tenants of even a modicum of justice in Housing Court in an attempt to steamroll them out onto the street," Legal Services NYC's Director of Litigation and Advocacy, Christine Clarke, tells Queens Daily Eagle.

"New York lags behind 42 other states that have greater protections against unfair business practices," writes Brooklyn Legal Services' Mario Fitzgerald in a New York Law Journal op-ed. With few protections, New Yorkers must seek justice through federal agencies that the Supreme Court may soon weaken. "These threats to federal agencies reinforce the importance of having stronger consumer protection laws with private rights of action," he writes. "New York would be well served to have strong laws on the books to hold bad actors accountable." https://lnkd.in/g9wDh2DU
