FAQ
You may refuse entry to a landlord if they do not give proper notice for a visit, or if they try to enter for any reason beyond the five valid ones listed below. These rights cannot be waived — they still apply if your lease says otherwise, or if you don't have a lease.
Under New York State's Rent Regulation Laws, harassment is defined as conduct by a landlord that directly or indirectly interferes with, or is intended to interfere with, your privacy, comfort, and enjoyment of your dwelling.
For example, your landlord must fix issues like: Peeling paint. Leaks in the ceiling. Broken sink, oven, or stove. Roaches, mice or bedbugs. Broken or non-closing windows. No heat or hot water.
Owner Not to Discriminate The owner may refuse to rent to anyone; however, that refusal cannot be based on race, age, religion, gender, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or because the tenant has children or in some jurisdictions, because of occupation or source of income.
No, landlords cannot legally change lease terms mid-lease without the tenant's consent. Any adjustments require a mutual agreement, typically formalized through a lease addendum signed by both parties. Unilateral changes by the landlord are prohibited to ensure fairness and adherence to the original contract.
Landlords may not take the law into their own hands and evict a tenant by use of force or unlawful means. For example, a landlord cannot use threats of violence, remove a tenant's possessions, lock the tenant out of the apartment, or willfully discontinue essential services such as water or heat.
The premises need to be in habitable condition and relatively clean. If filthy, that is a breach by landlord and tenant can end tenancy or demand landlord clean and adjust the rent. I am in NY.
Written notice must include: Termination date: The law says, the termination date must be effective no earlier than thirty days after the date on which the next rental payment is due (after the notice is delivered). The notice is considered delivered five days after mailing.
