Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

Lease Termination

On 2/1/07 we sent landlord notice that we would not be renewing lease. The landlord never provided us our copy of lease so we aren't sure of exact lease end date. They say it expired 2/28/07. We are purchasing a home but haven't found one yet. What are our rights for extending a month to month lease? Can they evict with no good cause?

Re: Lease Termination

Yes, they can evict for no reason BUT will have to go to court to do so AFTER giving you 30 days notice in writing.

So, first you get a written 30 day notice. Then, when you do not vacate, they have to file a petition in court and have you served, then you appear in court and tell Judge you need more time, etc.
