In particular, the publication published a question from one of the New York residents who has been renting an apartment at market price for the last 5 years. Last year, his landlord tried to raise the rent by 10%, but the tenant persuaded him to lower the rate to 6%. “This year I suspect he will want more and will not be open to negotiations. However, under the new rental law, I must receive 90 days' notice of any rent increase above 5%, he noted. — My rent is going up in two months and I haven't received an extension. If the landlord does try to raise the rent significantly at this point, what are my options?”

In its response, the publication recalled that last year, as part of a radical change in state rental laws, the New York City legislature added new rules to notify landlords of higher rental prices. According to the changes, landlords must provide tenants living in apartments at market prices with notice of advance payment in advance.

How is a landlord required to act?

If the landlord plans to increase the fee by more than 5%, or not to renew the lease, he is obliged to notify the tenant of such terms:

  • 30 days if they have lived in the apartment for less than a year;
  • 60 days if they lived in it for less than two years;
  • 90 days if they have lived in it for two years or longer.

At the same time, landlords are not required to notify if the increase is less than five percent.

“At this point, you don't know the landlord's intentions, but if your fears are correct and he ends up sending you an extension with a rent increase of more than 5% without 90 days' notice, you don't have to pay - at least not right away ", the message says.
