         warrant
         THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section 1. Subdivision 3 of section 749 of the real  property  actions
    2  and  proceedings  law, as amended by chapter 192 of the laws of 1975, is
    3  amended to read as follows:
    4    3.  The [issuing] EXECUTION of a warrant for the removal of  a  tenant
    5  cancels  the agreement under which the person removed held the premises,
    6  and annuls the relation of landlord and tenant[, but  nothing  contained
    7  herein  shall  deprive the court of the power to vacate such warrant for
    8  good cause shown prior to the execution thereof]. HOWEVER, THIS SUBDIVI-
    9  SION DOES NOT DEPRIVE THE COURT OF THE POWER TO VACATE SUCH  WARRANT  AT
   10  ANY  TIME.   Petitioner may recover by action any sum of money which was
   11  payable at the time when the special proceeding was  commenced  and  the
   12  reasonable  value of the use and occupation to the time when the warrant
   13  was [issued] EXECUTED, for any period of time with respect to which  the
   14  agreement does not make any provision for payment of rent.
   15    S  2.  This  act  shall take effect immediately and shall apply to all
   16  causes of action occurring on or after such date.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
