Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
Rantal lease termination
We have a signed lease (a private property) which ends on Oct. 2004, there was a verbal agreement that we can terminate the lease with a 30 days notice, and here are my questions:
1) According to the low, is there a standard minimum notice time for termination in case u didn�t specify it on the lease?
2) Is there any limit that the 30 days should be only on the first of each month? In other words, in case there is an agreement for 30 days termination notice � can it be in any day of the month let say from the 16 30 days or should it be only in a full month cycle?

Re: Rantal lease termination
the standard time is 30 days and it commences on the first of the month
Re: Rantal lease termination
Outside of NYC, the standard is 30 days which must be a full cycle. Ex: Rent due on 1st and want to vacate, the latest notice would be June 30th for move-out July 31st. If you gave notice on July 1st, you would need to stay/pay until August 31.
If your landlord doesn't honor your verbal agreement, you are liable til end of lease.
Re: Rantal lease termination
The verbal agreement, if challenged by your landlord, would not be binding since it contradicts the written terms of your lease. That being said, the standard is 30 days from the beignning of the next rental cycle. In other words it must be before the first of the month, of the month before you wish to vacate.
