Thanks for the link. New York clearly places a lot of restrictions on how and when tenants can be removed. But what about not renewing a lease when the term expires? One would think that even ultra-liberal New York would allow that, otherwise a tenant would have the power to prevent a landlord from selling his or her property. How should apply all the more to squatters since there is no contract, written or otherwise to specifying a term of “the lease”. Are squatters now being given open ended leases? If so then they’re no longer renters but owners. What a mess.
They are getting ready to ban that under “Good Cause” legislation. You can’t just end it. I’ve had some PITA tenants that pay late but they pay so under “Good Cause” we won’t be able to just not renew anymore. Nor will you be able to evict them unless the JUDGE thinks it’s a good enough reason.
