Notice Period – In New York, there is no state-wide mandate for the amount of notice required for lease non-compliance. However, the standard notice period is 30 days.[1]
If the property is subject to the Good Cause Eviction Law, the landlord must give tenants 30 days’ notice for properties within NYC and 30 days or as stated in the lease, whichever is lesser, outside NYC.[2]
