Rent Increase / Non-Renewal Notice

N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 226-c

Under New York Real Property Law § 226-c, a landlord who intends not to renew a residential tenancy, or to offer renewal with a rent increase of 5% or more above the current rent, must give the tenant advance written notice on a sliding scale tied to length of occupancy (or lease term, whichever is longer): at least 30 days for occupancy under one year, 60 days for one to two years, and 90 days for two or more years. If the landlord fails to give timely notice, the existing tenancy continues on its current terms until the required notice period has run, regardless of any contrary lease provision.
