If requested, the landlord will schedule the inspection between one and two weeks before the tenancy ends and give at least 48 hours' written notice of its date and time.

This notice does not waive any right the tenant has under applicable law. If the notice period was not provided on time, the tenancy continues on its existing terms until the period measured from actual written notice expires.

Legal authority

  • N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 226-c
  • N.Y. Real Prop. Law § 231-c
  • N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 7-107(5) (pre-vacate inspection notice for covered rent-stabilized leases)
  • N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 7-108(1-a)(d) (pre-vacate inspection notice for other covered units)

Landlord-tenant paperwork governs who can stay in a property, on what terms, and what happens when something goes wrong. Leases, notices to quit, security deposit demands, and habitability complaints all have state and often city-specific requirements for timing, content, and service. Getting the paperwork right is what makes an eviction actually succeed or a security deposit actually come back, because judges regularly dismiss cases over small procedural mistakes.
