When Can I Request a Fair Hearing?
In most cases, the Department of Social Services (DSS) does something you do not agree with, you have the right to request a fair hearing. Requesting a fair hearing allows you to challenge the decision and explain why you disagree to an administrative law judge or hearing officer.
For example, you might ask for a fair hearing if your application is denied or if your benefits are being cut off. You might also ask for a hearing if the amount of benefits you receive is being decreased.

New York State law* allows lease termination for people age 62 and over, and for disabled tenants, under certain conditions.
Section 227(a) of New York State Real Property Law spells out the rights of people aged 62 and over, and disabled tenants, to terminate a
residential lease or rental agreement before the lease time period ends.
Terminating a lease according to Section 227(a) is a legal termination, not a lease violation.
