- State: New York
Answer:
If a rental agreement does not specify the duration, the tenancy will end on the first day of October following the start of the tenant's possession. This is in accordance with NY CLS Real P § 232, which states that an agreement for the occupation of real estate in New York City without a specified duration continues until the next October after possession begins.
