Lease Renewals

Rent-stabilized tenants generally have a right to choose a one- or two-year renewal; the landlord must offer it 90–150 days before expiration and the tenant normally has 60 days to respond. For unregulated apartments, renewal rights depend on the lease and Good Cause Eviction; otherwise a landlord may decline renewal but generally must provide 30, 60, or 90 days' written notice, depending on the length of the tenancy.
