New York rent increase rule
New York does not use one statewide percentage cap or one universal rent-increase notice period for every rental. For a non-rent-regulated renewal with an increase of 5% or more, Real Property Law § 226-c generally requires 30, 60, or 90 days' advance written notice based on the longer of occupancy or lease term. Good Cause Eviction can add a local rent-standard and notice analysis for covered units in New York City and participating localities, while rent-stabilized and other regulated housing follows separate rules. Because the correct notice period depends on the 5% trigger, occupancy, lease term, regulatory status, locality, and exemptions, Max Rental Tools keeps automated New York notice timing gated until those inputs are confirmed.
