Levying Rents Pursuant to Monetary Judgment

New York's law on levies of rents pursuant to money judgment is most peculiar. The obligation of a tenant (T) to pay rent runs with the land.

New York is one of the first states to adopt laws to regulate artificial intelligence use in advertising and to strengthen post-mortem publicity rights regarding AI-generated replicas and “synthetic performers.” Given the state’s role as a bellwether for consumer-protection and advertising regulation, these new laws, combined with the state’s broader AI legislative framework, represent a shift toward transparency, consent and accountability.
