Guidelines for Landlords: Understanding the Eviction Process in New York
In New York, terminating a lease prematurely as a landlord necessitates strict adherence to the eviction process, wherein a valid cause is required to cancel the lease. Such grounds could include non-payment of rent or violation of lease terms by the tenant. If rent goes unpaid, the landlord must provide the tenant with notice and a 14-day window to either settle the rent or vacate the premises. In cases of lease agreement violations, a ten-day notice period is mandated for the tenant to rectify the breach.

Rights of Residential Tenants in New York
Tenants in New York can find reassurance in the presence of stringent landlord-tenant laws and obligations that landlords are required to adhere to diligently. These responsibilities encompass maintaining the property in a safe and habitable state, irrespective of rental payment issues or attempts to shift blame onto tenants for property conditions. Landlords bear the responsibility for necessary repairs. If you identify an issue, it’s advisable to promptly communicate with your landlord and document the conversation if feasible. Standard repairs should be addressed within one week, and landlords must respond promptly to emergencies such as broken pipes or heating failures. Moreover, landlords are prohibited from making threats regarding utility shutdowns, including heat.Facing an Eviction as a Tenant?
Tenants facing eviction should be aware that landlords must adhere to precise procedures and protocols before initiating an eviction. Proper notice must be provided. For instance, if your landlord is considering eviction due to rent arrears, they are required to serve you a Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, granting you a 14-day window to settle the overdue rent or vacate the premises.
In cases where lease violations are alleged, a Notice To Cure must be issued, providing you with ten days to rectify the issue. Failure to pay rent or address the problem within the stipulated time frame could potentially lead to eviction.
