New York Eviction Notice

Before a New York landlord can file for eviction, the tenancy usually has to be ended with written notice. How much notice depends on the reason. Here’s what New York’s statute says for each kind of notice this template builds.

New York rules at a glance

Rent, late fees & rent increases

• Late fees — A late fee can’t be charged until rent is more than 5 days late, and it can’t exceed $50 or 5% of the monthly rent, whichever is less. Any clause charging more, or charging sooner, is void (RPL §238-a).
• Application fee — Capped at $20 (the actual cost of a background/credit check), and waived entirely if the applicant supplies their own recent report (RPL §238-a(1)).
• Increase & non-renewal notice — To raise rent 5% or more, or not renew, the landlord must give 30 days’ notice (tenant under 1 year), 60 days (1–2 years), or 90 days (2+ years). Miss the deadline and the tenancy continues until the notice runs (RPL §226-c).
• Good Cause Eviction — In NYC and localities that have opted in, increases above 10% (or 5% + CPI, whichever is lower) are presumptively unreasonable and the landlord must show a “good cause” to evict (RPL Article 6-A).

Ending a New York tenancy

• Nonpayment — A 14-day written rent demand is required before filing a nonpayment eviction — up from 3 days pre-HSTPA (RPAPL §711).
• Domestic violence — A survivor may end the lease with written notice and a termination date at least 30 days out, with documentation (RPL §227-c).
• Military — An active-duty servicemember with qualifying orders may terminate under the federal SCRA (50 U.S.C. §3955).
