A New York 14 Day Notice To Quit is a letter which complies with state legal requirements to begin eviction against a tenant for nonpayment of rent. The tenant must pay the balance due or move out within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving notice.
A New York 14 Day Notice To Quit begins the eviction process when the tenant is late on rent. A landlord may deliver this notice when any portion of the rent remains unpaid, beginning the day after it’s normally due. [1] Some types of New York lease termination notice may allow different reasons for termination, or different notice periods. This may also apply to an eviction notice issued because of a lease or legal violation.
It is easy to lose an otherwise justified legal action because of improper notice. Check carefully to ensure enough time after notice is delivered , not when it’s sent.
New York landlords may deliver a written Notice of Termination by any method which results in actual notification of the tenant. The following methods, which come from formal service of court process in the state, are the legal gold standard: [2]
Mailed notice must be mailed within one (1) day of the other form of delivery, and extends a notice period by (3) calendar days, to account for variable delivery times. [3]
