Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
my tenants lease expired at the beginning of this month and we are not looking to renew their lease. what can i do now?

You would have to evict the tenant.
If the tenant pays rent for this month and you accept the rent, the tenant would be deemed a month to month tenant and you would have to give 30 day notice for an eviction. If the tenant did not pay rent for this month and /or you did not accept rent for this month, you would be able to petition for immediate eviction.

Mr. Markowitz is correct. Additionally, 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. A 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.
