Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

new york - we have no lease - landlord sent rent increase letter - we sent counter proposal which includes "Should we not hear back from you, we will presume you have agreed to and accept our counter rent proposal and will act accordingly" - question - if the landlord fails to respond to our counter proposal, can we legally pay what WE proposed in OUR letter and is the landlord then legally obligated to accept same? thanks!
