A notice to remedy gives the tenant formal written notice of a lease violation and an opportunity to cure before the landlord proceeds to eviction. New York Housing Courts expect to see documented notices before granting a warrant of eviction for lease violations.
Notice to Remedy vs. Cure or Quit Notice
- Notice to Remedy (this form): First written notice of the violation. Typically gives 10–30 days to cure depending on the nature of the violation
- 3-Day Cure or Quit: Formal statutory notice that initiates the eviction timeline. Served after remedy notice is ignored
Proper Service
Serve via personal delivery, conspicuous placement plus mail, or certified mail. Retain proof of service — a signed Affidavit of Service is essential for Housing Court proceedings. See NY eviction notice laws.
