Notice Period – In New York, there is no state law that says how much notice is required before terminating for lease non-compliance. Landlords should look to their rental agreement.[1] Standard notice is 30 days.
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]
