Answer:

No, New York has taken special measures to ensure that landlord who rent to those in the business of cannabis are protected under the law. More specifically, the MRTA contains the following express provision:

MRTA, Article 6, Section 134(2)(b) – Landlords and property owners who lease or allow their property to be used by Registered Organizations, licensees or permittees are not engaged in unlawful activity and are not subject to prosecution or fine for engaging in such lawful conduct.
