Absolutely not. A written Notice is usually required in New York State. NYS law is very specific as to the exact wording required in these Notices and the manner in which they must be served upon the tenant. Alot also depends on your lease situation. Thus it is advisable to retain the services of an attorney experienced in these areas. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
