ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y.—The Middletown Common Council on June 17 adopted good cause eviction legislation into law, which will make it harder for landlords to evict tenants or raise rent without proper cause.
The legislation, which was passed unanimously, seeks to prevent landlords from evicting renters without a good reason. Landlords will need to acquire judgment of possession through a court proceeding in order to evict someone from a property. Law enforcement will carry out the court-ordered eviction.
