Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York

termination contract received

we already issued a ''termination of a

month to month lease'' to the

tenants we have in the basement,he

received and signed the copy. it will

be in effect january 10 because that

was the date he received it. my

question is, if they do not leave on

that date hat should we do, can we

also report them to a credit bureau

for non payment of rent? (we do not

want the money for the non

payment of rent, we just want them

not to do it to other landlords). Hope

someone can answer my questions.

Thanks in advance.

Re: termination contract received

Depending on where your property is you may need to give them a full 30 day rent cycle. In other words if rent is paid on the 1st and you served them December 10th...they would have until Feb 1st to vacate.

If they do not vacate you will then have to serve them w/ a 3 day notice to quit and after that file a notice of petition and petition for eviction.

If your basement apartment is not legal your Tenant can make trouble for you so do your best to work with them to get out.

You can't report them to credit bureau as you are not a member.
