Governor Pataki yesterday signed into law a measure,
to take effect Sept. 1, that will allow senior citizens to
break apartment leases without penalty if they are moving
in with relatives for medical reasons. Currently, seniors
can break a lease only to move into a health-related care
facility. A second bill signed by the Governor attempts to
insulate seniors from "high-pressure" sales techniques by
giving them a three-day "cooling off" period to cancel or
rescind a contract for senior citizen housing.

Here are the bill #'s from the NYS Assembly search page:
7 bills matched your search criteria ("senior lease"):

A02828 Defines planned retirement community and proscribes rules and regulations for
