Answer:
In New York, a monthly tenant may be removed from the rental premises for holding the rental property beyond his term, after giving notice of removal at least thirty days before the expiration of the term of tenancy.NY CLS Real P § 232-a reads:
“No monthly tenant, or tenant from month to month, shall hereafter be removed from any lands or buildings in the city of New York on the grounds of holding over his term unless at least thirty days before the expiration of the term the landlord or his agent serve upon the tenant, in the same manner in which a notice of petition in summary proceedings is now allowed to be served by law, a notice in writing to the effect that the landlord elects to terminate the tenancy and that unless the tenant removes from such premises on the day on which his term expires the landlord will commence summary proceedings under the statute to remove such tenant therefrom.”
In the given instance, as you are a monthly tenant, you may be removed from the rental premises for holding the rental property beyond the term.
