What is the maximum increase that a landlord can get on a non stabilized apartment in New York?

Full question:

What is the maximum increase (%) that a landlord can get on a non stabilized apartment, one year lease, in New York City . Do they have to provide more than a one year lease if asked?

Answer:

If the city regulations don't apply, the NY state statutes
don't limit rent increases. In a non-regulated lease, the amount of rent
and duration is typically a matter of contractual negotiation between
the parties. It would be up to the landlord to agree to a term longer
than a year in such a case.

The 3X rent rule generally means that a tenant must earn three times the monthly rent to qualify for an apartment. While landlords typically enforce this rule, some may consider other factors, such as a co-signer or a larger security deposit. However, there is no legal way to bypass this requirement if the landlord strictly adheres to it.
