Receiving such a notice can be stressful, but it’s important for tenants to understand their legal rights and options. In New York City, landlords must comply with specific rules regarding timing and justification for non-renewal, especially in rent-stabilized or regulated apartments. Tenants may have the right to negotiate, contest the decision, or seek legal remedies if the non-renewal is retaliatory, discriminatory, or violates housing laws. Understanding how to respond can prevent unexpected eviction, financial loss, or disputes. Consulting legal resources or a tenant attorney can help clarify next steps, protect housing rights, and ensure a fair resolution. Knowledge of the notice process empowers tenants to navigate lease endings confidently and strategically in a complex rental market.
