AI New York Eviction Notice

This document generates complete, jurisdiction-correct New York eviction notices (also called rent demands and notices to quit) compliant with the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) §§ 711 - 735 and related provisions as amended by the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (HSTPA). It incorporates Good Cause Eviction requirements under Real Property Law Article 6-A (effective 2024) for covered dwellings in applicable localities.

An eviction notice is only the predicate step. If the tenant does not comply, the landlord must commence a summary proceeding in the appropriate court (Housing Court in NYC or District/City Court outside NYC) by filing a Notice of Petition and Petition. Only a court order and execution by a sheriff, marshal, or constable can lawfully remove a tenant. Self-help evictions are strictly prohibited.

NOTICE TYPE SELECTION GUIDE

Select the correct notice based on the grounds. Serving the wrong notice type or with incorrect periods can invalidate the entire proceeding.

> Critical: In localities covered by the statewide Good Cause Eviction Law (NYC and certain opted-in cities as of 2026), most no-fault evictions and certain refusals to renew are restricted. Landlords must state a permissible "good cause" and, for covered units, append or include the required Good Cause Eviction Law notice in leases, renewals, and many termination notices.
