For NYC rent-stabilized tenants, the landlord is required by law to offer a renewal lease before the current lease expires. The offer must be made within a specific 90 to 150 day window before lease expiration. Getting the timing wrong has automatic and costly consequences.
The 90–150 Day Window
- No earlier than 150 days before lease expiration
- No later than 90 days before lease expiration
- Tenant has 60 days after receiving the offer to accept or reject
- If tenant accepts late (after 60 days), lease begins at the later date
Penalty for Missing the Window
If the landlord fails to send the renewal offer within the required window, the current lease is automatically renewed for 1 year at the same rent. The landlord forfeits the right to apply that year's RGB increase. See NY lease termination laws.
