Campaign provisions have been clarified to allow candidates to access apartment buildings, condominiums, non-profit housing co-ops or gated communities from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. in order to campaign.
Importantly, landlords, condominium corporations and co-ops will not be allowed to prohibit tenants or owners from displaying campaign signs on his or her unit, including in their windows.
