Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
neon sign
Does a landlord have the right to demand removal of a small neon ''open'' sign (two colors, non-flashing) in the window of his mixed residential and professional building (two office uses, plus residential tenants) where we rent space to operate our real estate office? His basis is that it ''doesn't give the building the look he wants it to.'' The sign was approved by the city's code enforcement officer. It is used only briefly during daytime hours, and not every day of the week.

Re: neon sign
It depends. What does the lease say? Perhaps rather than an all or nothing you can come to some type of agreement on what kind of professional sign would be adequate for you and not offensive to your landlord.

If zoning allows it and your lease does not expressly prohibit it.....Go for it!

Read your lease to see if it is prohibited.
