Answer:
In New York City, to terminate a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord must provide a written notice at least thirty days before the lease expires. This notice must be served in the same manner as a notice of petition in a summary proceeding, as outlined in RPAPL 735(1). The methods of service include:
- Personally delivering the notice to the tenant;
- Delivering it to a person of suitable age and discretion at the property;
- If access cannot be gained, affixing the notice to a conspicuous part of the property or placing it under the entrance door;
Additionally, within one day of delivering the notice, the landlord must mail a copy to the tenant by both registered or certified mail and regular first-class mail. This process ensures that the tenant is properly notified of the termination of their tenancy (N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 232-a).
