Good Cause Eviction Law
For certain tenancies in New York City and other municipalities that opt in, landlords must have a “good cause” reason when choosing not to renew a lease. Good cause includes a tenant’s failure to pay rent, provided the landlord has not unreasonably increased rent, a tenant’s violation of any lease term, the landlord’s intent to demolish or otherwise remove the property from the market, and for several other reasons.
Notice of Good Cause Eviction
All landlords issuing a a termination letter must attach a Notice of Applicability of Good Cause Eviction Law.[3]
