Rochester's City Council delays vote on "Good Cause Eviction" bill, aimed at protecting tenants from unjust evictions.

Rochester's City Council is set to vote on the "Good Cause Eviction" bill in December, which would prevent evictions without just cause and guarantee lease renewals for on-time renters. The vote was delayed from December 6 to December 17, sparking frustration among some council members who noted over 300 evictions since the bill was introduced in June. The legislation faces opposition from landlords who argue it could hinder public safety and quality of life by complicating the eviction process.
