You have to serve them with a notice of termination. Give a full month's notice, so I you serve today, you would be telling them to leave by July 1. If they don't go, then you have to take them to landlord-tenant court. I recommend you place insurance coverage before you notify your roommates to leave.

Mr. Connolly is wrong about the date in the notice. It must be June 30. If in the notice you write July 1, the court will bounce your petition for a warrant of eviction.

As New York State 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, it is highly advisable to retain the services of an attorney experienced in these areas. Any small mistake can set you back months in the process. We have handled many such cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
