Tenants have the right to live in safe and habitable housing. When serious property issues such as lack of heat, water damage, mold, or other unsafe conditions force a tenant to leave, it may qualify as Constructive Eviction. Understanding this legal concept is important for protecting your rights and determining whether a landlord has failed to meet their obligations. Knowing the signs of constructive eviction can help tenants take appropriate legal action and seek remedies under New York housing laws.
