Good Cause Eviction training sessions to be held this week
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Binghamton City Council is looking to educate the community on its newly passed legislation.
After months of meetings, hearing both positive feedback and push back, Binghamton City Council unanimously passed the Good Cause Eviction Law on February 12.
City Council says Good Cause Eviction will prohibit landlords from making unwarranted evictions, prevent rent hikes, and hold bad landlords accountable.
As part of City Council's commitment to supporting both tenants and landlords in navigating the implementation of the law, CNY Fair Housing will host training sessions later this week. The sessions will include information about the legislation's expanded protections and protocol requirements.
From Councilmember Nate Hotchkiss introduced the local law late last year.

'While we look forward to the positive impact Good Cause Eviction law will have on housing stability for local residents, we recognize that even good change can come with challenges. This week's training is just the first among several opportunities being coordinated to make ongoing education and legal expertise available to those impacted by the anticipated adoption,' said Hotchkiss.
The Fair Housing training for Landlords will be held on Thursday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the Ahearn Room at the Broome County Public Library.
The Fair Housing training for Service Providers and Tenants will also be held in the Ahearn Room on Thursday, taking place from 2 to 3:30.
