New York Eviction Notice

A New York eviction notice for unpaid rent is a written 14-day rent demand — pay or give up possession (RPAPL § 711(2)); an oral demand is not enough since the 2019 HSTPA. Without cause: 30/60/90 days' written notice by tenancy length (RPL § 226-c(2)). No statewide period for lease violations. Free; deadline computed from your service date.

A New York eviction notice for landlords: the written 14-day rent demand that New York has required for nonpayment since the 2019 HSTPA — payment or possession — and the 30, 60 or 90-day written termination notice for ending a tenancy without cause, keyed on how long the tenant has lived there. Each deadline is calculated from your service date. New York statute fixes no statewide notice period for lease violations, so no violation notice is offered here.

Deadlines verified September 19, 2026 against nysenate.gov — N.Y. Senate legislation pages: RPL § 226-c read on an archived copy of the official page; RPAPL § 711(2) confirmed by the statute text quoted verbatim in a 2026 New York Civil Court decision. The New York eviction notice is covered the same way — deadlines verified, statute cited on the document.

Read this before serving: this template is not legal advice and does not replace an attorney. Deadlines and service rules vary, and cities can add their own rules (rent control, just-cause ordinances). A notice served with the wrong period or the wrong form can get the case dismissed and cost months. Have a local attorney review your notice before serving it.

2The New York deadlines, notice by notice

Every deadline below was verified on September 19, 2026: RPL § 226-c read in the official text on nysenate.gov (archived copy), and RPAPL § 711(2) confirmed by the statute text quoted verbatim in a 2026 New York Civil Court decision. The notice types available in the tool depend on the reason — and where New York statute fixes no period, no notice is offered:

14-Day Written Rent Demand (pay or possession) — RPAPL § 711(2).
30-Day Notice of Termination (occupancy under 1 year) — RPL § 226-c(2)(b).
60-Day Notice of Termination (1 to 2 years) — RPL § 226-c(2)(c).
90-Day Notice of Termination (2 years or more) — RPL § 226-c(2)(d).

3How the New York notice period is counted

All New York notice periods count calendar days from service of the written notice — the 14-day rent demand and the 30/60/90-day termination notices alike. The period runs from delivery to the tenant, not from the date written on the notice — keep dated proof of service.
The rent demand must be served the way court papers are served, as prescribed by RPAPL § 735. And it must be written: since the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, an oral demand of the rent is not sufficient (RPAPL § 711(2)).
The 30/60/90-day tiers key on the tenancy: under one year of occupancy, one to two years, or more than two years — measured by occupancy or by the lease term (RPL § 226-c(2)(b)-(d)).
New York fixes no statewide notice period for lease violations: the period is set by the lease or by local rules. For that reason this tool deliberately offers no violation notice for New York — an invented period fails in court.

4Mistakes that get a New York eviction notice thrown out

Demanding the rent orally. Since the 2019 HSTPA, the 14-day demand must be in writing (RPAPL § 711(2)); a phone call or a conversation does not start the clock and does not support the proceeding.
Serving the demand the wrong way. The written demand must be served as court papers are served, under RPAPL § 735. A copy handed to a neighbor or found under the door does not match the statute — and service defects are a standard tenant defense.
Using the wrong no-fault tier. Thirty days covers a tenancy under one year, sixty days one to two years, ninety days more than two years (RPL § 226-c(2)). A 30-day notice to a three-year tenant fails.
Borrowing another state's violation notice. New York fixes no statewide cure period for lease violations; serving a generic cure-or-quit borrowed from another state produces a notice that can be dismissed. A local attorney can confirm the demand wording for your case.

Questions landlords ask about New York

How many days does a New York eviction notice give for unpaid rent?

Fourteen days, by written demand. The landlord must serve a written demand of the rent requiring payment or possession within 14 days (RPAPL § 711(2)). Since the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act an oral demand is not sufficient, and the demand must be served the way court papers are served (RPAPL § 735).

How much notice ends a New York month-to-month tenancy?

It depends on the tenancy length: at least 30 days' written notice if the tenant has occupied less than one year, 60 days for one to two years, and 90 days for more than two years (RPL § 226-c(2)(b)-(d)). Local rules can add requirements on top of these state periods — for example rent regulation and good-cause rules in New York City.

What eviction notice is used for a lease violation in New York?

No single statewide notice is fixed by statute — and that is why this tool offers no violation notice for New York. The notice period for lease violations is set by the lease or by local rules, and in New York City by local law. Serving a generic cure-or-quit from another state produces a notice that can fail in court; a local attorney can confirm the right demand for your case.

Do New York's 14 days include weekends?

Yes. New York notice periods count calendar days: the 14-day rent demand, and the 30/60/90-day termination notices, all run from service and include weekends and holidays. What matters is how the notice is served — the clock starts on delivery to the tenant (RPAPL §§ 711(2), 735).

Can a New York tenant stay in the property after the notice expires?

Yes. The notice is the required first step, not the eviction. If the tenant does not pay or leave by the deadline, the landlord must bring a nonpayment or holdover proceeding in court and obtain a judgment and a warrant before the tenant can lawfully be removed. Lockouts and self-help removal are unlawful in New York.

Is this New York eviction notice template really free?

Yes — no account, no credit card, no trial. The document is built in your browser and nothing you type is stored or sent. The optional email field only notifies you when another state is verified; it never receives the contents of your notice.

Neighboring states

New York borders Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. None of these has a verified notice page yet: they are in the state selector, but their eviction notice requirements are not yet verified against an official source, so no notice is offered for them — an out-of-state notice fails in court.
