What is the maximum rent increase for a non-stabilized apartment in NYC?

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:

In New York City, if the apartment is not rent-stabilized, state laws do not limit rent increases. The rent amount and lease duration are typically determined through negotiation between the landlord and tenant. Therefore, a landlord can choose to offer a lease longer than one year if they wish.

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.
