New York City Enacts Protection for Freelance Workers, Effective 5/ 15/2017
A single person or an entity with only one person, engaged as an independent contractor by companies in New York City for work worth more than $800 (including multiple small projects within a 120 day period), is entitled to a written Freelance Contract that provides timely and full wage payment rights, prohibits retaliation if they exercise their rights, and provides penalties against companies for non-compliance.
A freelance worker can file a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs’s (DCA) Office of Labor Policy & Standards. DCA will notify you if a complaint is filed against you. You must respond to the notice of complaint in writing within 20 days. If you do not respond and if the freelance worker files a civil action in court, the judge will presume that you committed the violations. If you have questions, email freelancer@dca.nyc.gov.
A freelance worker can file a civil action in court for violations of the law. If a court finds that you violated the law, you can be liable for damages-double damages for late payment or nonpayment; additional damages for failure to provide a written contract or retaliation-plus attorneys’ fees and costs.

Most successful franchise systems have great locations. For these franchisors, the investment of time and energy for site selection is significant and retaining those sites is very important. The most popular method of providing a franchisor control over a location is by obtaining the landlord’s written agreement to certain key lease provisions. Franchisors can present this form to its franchisees as the “standard” form of lease rider for retail space. The franchisee, in turn, will seek to cause the landlord to incorporate these terms into the lease agreement. This form contains the most critical and customary clauses to include in a lease agreement to achieve the franchisor’s goal of controlling favorable real estate.

Short-term rentals are common (and perhaps inescapable) in a city like New York and other popular destinations, despite laws that prohibit the rental of an apartment in a Multiple Dwelling for less than 30 consecutive days. Recently, however there’s been a dramatic upsurge in such rentals, thanks to vacation rental apps that have made the transactions simpler and more attractive for tenants and travelers. How much of a problem is it and how should it be addressed?
Vacation rental apps provide an online marketplace that connects people with apartments to rent with people who need a place to stay. There are, of course, many proponents of this business model. After all, these types of services have been used for generations to aid travelers of modest means. And what apartment owner or tenant would not jump at the opportunity to earn a few extra dollars? Especially, in New York City where it’s more lucrative. Besides, what’s the harm?
In fact, quite a few parties might be harmed – and not just those directly involved. Certainly, owners and building management are affected by violations of the law. There is, for instance, the cost of fines and lawsuits brought by these transient renters or by parties who suffer damage. Meanwhile, from a government viewpoint, such transactions may ignore, not only zoning laws but numerous fire, safety, and hazard prevention laws. In addition, it is likely that the income earned by the tenant/lessor will never be reported for tax purposes. In the long run, these issues can affect many, if not all, services provided by the government to its citizens.
Frequently, however, the impact of the trend is most keenly felt by neighbors who live in these buildings. Recent news reports have been full of tenant complaints about excessive noise, damage and general offensiveness on the part of vacationers on short term stays. Reports of greater threats and dangers are not uncommon. And even when it poses no immediate danger, the presence of transients can be disturbing. Tenants may rightfully feel that the changing stream of residents across the hall violates their right to the quiet enjoyment of their own premises. Who wants to live in a hotel without a hotel’s security?
With the need to enforce the ban against such rentals pitted against the realities of the marketplace, it often falls to the owner or management of the building to discourage tenants from violating the law. Including a paragraph in lease agreements that specifically prohibits these types of short-term rentals could go very far in deterring them, especially if the penalty for violation results in financial damages or even eviction. We have revised the following forms to include a new paragraph Short Term Rentals Prohibited.
