Electronic Lease Offer: Tenant’s Voluntary Consent
General Instructions
Pursuant to Chapter 74 of the Laws of 2022 and Section 309 of the State Technology Law, owners of buildings
and apartments subject to rent stabilization must obtain the voluntary consent of the tenant prior to the use of
electronic records to execute a lease or renewal lease. The use of electronic records and signatures is voluntary
and cannot be required by an owner.
The information entered on the Consent form must be consistent with the information entered in the lease offering
to the tenant. Inconsistencies in information provided on this form and any future submissions to DHCR may be
referred for internal review and appropriate administrative action.
Please refer to the Operational Bulletin 2022-1 ( hcr.ny.gov/operational-bulletin-2022-1 ) for additional detailed
information.
Filing Instructions
General:
Owners and tenants choosing to execute leases electronically along with all lawful riders, including but not limited
to the New York City Rent Stabilized Lease Rider and/or the ETPA Standard Lease Addenda, will still be bound
by the timeframes stipulated by the regulations pertaining to the window periods to offer and respond to a lease
offering. Both parties will be required to retain proof of service and response as described in the Operational
Bulletin 2022-1 to the electronic lease offering. Additionally, proof may be required in a proceeding before DHCR
and/or the courts. For specifics on the window periods, see DHCR Fact Sheet #4: Lease Renewal in Rent
Stabilized Apartments.
Please Note: The consent given in this form will apply to all subsequent lease renewal offers during the tenant’s
tenancy. Both owners and tenants retain the right to opt out of future electronic lease offerings by providing
written notice to the other party. Should either the owner or tenant information change, both owners and tenants
are required to provide written notice to the other party, and a new consent form should be completed.
