Does the New York Roommate Law Discriminate against Single Mothers?

NYC's woke housing laws are at it again, making things worse for the people whom they are trying to protect. The woke housing law we're talking about in the 86th episode of The Ask James Wise Show is called RPL 235-f. New York Law RPLY 235-f is commonly known as the New York Roommate Law. The New York Roommate Law allows a tenant of any private residential apartment to share their apartment with their immediate family members, one additional occupant and any dependent children of that occupant so long as the apartment is the tenant's primary residence & so long as there is only one tenant on the lease. Unfortunately for single mothers out there, James Wise believes that the liberal politicians got it wrong with this New York landlord tenant law. James Wise believes that like a lot of liberal housing politics, this liberal roommate law is going to discriminate against the very people they were trying to help, New York tenants. The New York renters whom James Wise thinks will get the most amount of discrimination because of this law, is going to be single mothers. James Wise believes that by tying the hands of New York landlords, the liberal housing policies like this one cause landlords to push back. In this case, the landlord push back is likely to result in single moms being denied housing because the landlords are fearful of their single mother tenant moving in a boyfriend or baby daddy whom the landlord was not able to screen. Forcing landlords to accept tenants whom they were not able to perform tenant screening on is not logical. Forcing landlords to accept tenants whom they will be unable to evict is not a smart housing policy. The New York Roommate law is liberal nonsense that will likely make finding affordable housing in New York a lot harder for single mothers.
