Month-to-Month Rental Agreements in New York
New York month-to-month leases are governed by the Real Property Law. Outside New York City, either party can terminate a monthly lease with 30 days' notice (RPL § 232-b). Inside New York City, landlords must provide 30 days' formal notice (RPL § 232-a).
Additionally, New York caps security deposits at one month's rent (GOL § 7-108) and requires landlords to return deposits within 14 days of the tenant vacating.
